The Greatest Love Story of All

When I think of the true meaning of Christmas, I don't simply think of the Baby in a manger. I consider Who gave that gift and what that baby went on to do. I will never fully comprehend why a great and powerful God would send His only Son to earth as a mere human, destined to die a horrible death. I can't understand why we sinning humans are worth it; how He could love us SO much. When I think of the love of my Savior, I am awed into silence. I will never understand it but I am more than thankful for it. I can only wish that I could love Him that much in return, if a human were even capable of such love.
This Christmas, I consider the love of a Father for His children. I consider the love of that Baby in a manger. That precious Baby we see in nativity scenes, Christmas cards, wrapping paper, and decorations is my powerful and loving Savior, Jesus Christ. My prayer for this Christmas is that everyone will realize that the true meaning of Christmas is not to give presents or even to be with family, but it is to remember the greatest love story of all. I pray everyone will accept this great gift and will develop a lasting and meaningful relationship with that Baby in a manger, my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
I hope you all have a Merry Christmas.
