Unfortunately, some people have taken the focus off of Christmas and God’s great gift to the world. Instead of pointing people to the amazing love of God, our eyes and ears are fixed upon the sins of the world. Instead of focusing on hope, the articles direct readers and the media towards what is wrong in America. There is a time for that. This is not the time. This is the time to offer more than what this world has to give.
The Christmas season is a time to encourage men and women to consider the love that caused Jesus to shed His glory that He enjoyed in heaven to enter the world through the womb of a peasant girl.

Jesus walked this earth teaching, healing, working miracles, and proclaiming the Kingdom of Heaven.
From Brokenness to Hope
Jesus came to give hope and a way to heal our broken relationships with God. The Bible tells us that there is no one who is righteous. We all sin and fall short of the glory of God. The price for that sin is death and separation from God forever.
There is much that is wrong in America, and that wrong begins with you and me. We are sinners. Yet, if we are followers of the Living God, we have a promise, “if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14

The Gift

My prayer
Our Heavenly Father, we are amazed and profoundly humbled by Your great love for us. Thank You for sending Jesus into the world, so that through Him we might have life with You forever. Father, America has sinned, and Your people have sinned. Cause us to humble ourselves, turn from our sins, and seek Your face. Pour out the Holy Spirit upon us and fill us with the ability to comprehend the height, breadth, depth, and width of Your great love in the message of Christmas. We praise You and honor You. Thank You for Jesus, Amen.
