For behold, I bring you glad tidings of great joy, which shall be to all the people.
- Luke 2:10 (RGT)
I love that while so many people were looking for a king, waiting on the Rescuer, God sent his Son as an infant, in the care of an unwed teen mom from the wrong side of town . God is always moving low, moving to the outskirts, towards the people who are pushed to the edges of society, towards those whose heads are bent low in pain, shame, fear, sadness or sorrow. This is such a comfort to me. I hope it’s a comfort to you too.
I LOVE Christmas and love all that comes along with it, but I know this time of year can be really hard and lonely for people.
