The Son (Luke 1:26-38, 1 John 4:14)

No parent is perfect.  We all do our best with what we have learned and have been taught.  However, God is perfect.  He is generous and kind, patient and understanding. He rebukes but lovingly encourages.  He keeps no record of wrongs. He runs to us when we turn to Him. His love never fails.  It is a giving love. This love gives His most precious treasure—his Son. Meditate on that this Advent. Jesus, the Son, came, sharing the very nature of His Father. He became the expression of the Father’s love for us: love incarnate, willing to lay down His very life for us.
As parents we love to give our children what they wish for, especially at Christmas. If we could afford it, we would give our children the world. God knew the world needed His Son to save them.  God gave us more than this world, He gave us  the hope of Heaven! Today, thank God for giving His Son to save us.  Thank Him for the beautiful family you have been adopted into!
