God with us and for us
Sometimes when I talk to some Christians I get the impression that God is looking for reasons to destroy us. It's almost as if He is watching over us with a check list and if we mess up, we get put on the naughty list, that list that is set aside for destruction.
What a depressing, stressful, picture of God. Can any of us measure up? We can if it's based on our imaginary set of rules and standards.
God is not looking to destroy us. He is for us! Honestly if He is looking to destroy me, I have given Him enough reason. Looking over my life, I can see how far from God I have been at times.
But I know God is for us. Christmas is the most poignant demonstration that God is for us. Instead of seeking to destroy us, God is seeking to save us. He desires this so much that His Son, Jesus, would become one of us, so that we could be adopted back into His family. Jesus gave of ahemself for us.
I hope this Christmas you will see God as One who is seeking your good, your salvation. He loves you, not based on what you have done. It's not about your deeds but solely His goodness.
See the love of God this Christmas.
