The recurring theme that has pervaded my thoughts this Christmas is REJOICE! Over and over the word has come to me...through carols and contemporary Christmas music, through greeting cards, through the Scripture, through the still, small voice that has whispered it in my spiritual ear.
It is entirely appropriate to rejoice! Even if you are stressed. Even if all is not going well in your world. Even if you are filled with grief or heartache.
We can rejoice because a Savior has come to redeem!
We can rejoice because He became flesh, and paid the penalty for our sin!
We can rejoice because "God with man is now residing!"
We can rejoice if our names are written in Heaven!
