I sit in a friend’s house. Christmas décor surrounds me as
Christmas music plays from a nearby speaker. The sun rests its gentle touch on
my neck as I meditate on the peaceful serenity of the moment. I wrestle to
discover when this sacred moment comes from the generosity and hospitality of a
family’s pure adoration or if it comes from the magic of Christmas time. Either
way, I realize how sweet this moment is. There is something about the genuineness
of mankind that lives in all of us. It reminds me of the time of Noah when God
seemingly had plans to destroy the human race when suddenly… he decides
otherwise. Was it the pureness and obedience of Noah’s family or was it the
mercy of a great God who’s love often over showers his wrath. While justice will
one day be served, I realize in this very moment than now more than ever we
must love the world the way I currently feel loved. After all, we love because
he first loved us… so I ask, what are we waiting for? When we realize the love
of God lives inside us it makes everything all the more worthwhile and in all
honestly, easier. Love flows fresh streams of grace when we first look to our
Father, for he is the creator of it all.
