A Short Merry Christmas Reflection

“Love goes the distance…and Christ traveled from limitless eternity to be confined by time in order to become one of us. He didn’t have to. He could have given up. 

At any step along the way he could have called it quits. 

When he saw the size of the womb, he could have stopped.

When he saw how tiny his hand would be, how soft his voice would be, how hungry his tummy would be, he could have stopped. At the first whiff of the stinky stable, at the first gust of cold air. The first time he scraped his knee or blew his nose or tasted burnt bagels, he could have turned and walked out.

But he didn’t.

He didn’t because he is love.” Max Lucado, A Love Worth Giving.

Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas,
