Received a Christmas card from some good friends of ours in Cincinnati. It spoke of Christmas as a time to celebrate God coming near. As I pondered the card I was struck again by the story I believe in. God - leaving his throne in Heaven - to enter our world and forever change our future. The card encouraged us and challenged us to love as Christ loved. Again I was struck by the amazing gift we have been entrusted with. As God has come near, so we now represent Him on this earth.
So in this holiday season, look through all the presents and materialism for opportunities to represent the God who left his home in Heaven. Allow God to use you to touch others for his purposes. God is all about "coming near," and wants to use us to touch and heal the world.
