so thankful for the birth of Jesus. that little baby who was born a Savior of the world.
immanuel-- [finally] god with us. flesh. blood. breath.
through his birth, life, death & resurrection, i have been crucified with Christ & reborn in Christ.
jesus came & fulfilled the law because we couldn't.
no matter how hard we tried. it was never our work he wanted, but our hearts.
we needed him. we still do.
so reminded of the beauty of the Gospel & how much greater it is than we realize.
grace is greater than we realize. jesus is better than we realize.
through this baby boy, i have been adopted as a child of the living God.
there really is no greater pleasure for me in this life right now...
to know Who i belong to.
to know that he gave me a name. a meaning. an identity.
to know my name is on written on the palm of his hand: beloved.
it's too good.
