Everywhere I go, He’s there.
Tackling the difficult exams, He’s right there with me, whispering strength.
Walking through the grocery store, He’s right there with me, inspiring me to share a smile with the weary clerk.
Driving in the car, He’s right there with me, listening to my dreams and my desires.
What an amazing God, that He would care and enter into even the dullest of my moments. That He would pour out grace everywhere I turn. That He would want to talk with me all day long.
I am literally surrounded by Him. I cannot get away from Him. I am covered and I am flooded. Everywhere I go, I am embraced by His tender love. {Psalm 139:4-5, Acts 17:28}
It was at Christmas that He came. “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.” {John 1:14}
What a marvelous gift. He’s the Gift of all gifts, the fulfillment of all our desires. “In him thou hast given me so much that heaven can give no more.” {Valley of Vision}
Emmanuel, God with us.
For this I give thanks and celebrate Christmas.
