Would you like to celebrate
this Christmas season by experiencing the peace, reassurance and joy once provided
by your youthful faith? As children, we approach Christmas in the unwavering
belief that we are loved. It’s that belief that strengths our faith and fills
the season with joyous expectation. As adults, the uncertainties inherent in
life gradually take a toll on that assurance. It’s increasingly difficult to
believe that we are loved. Only through faith can we reclaim that assurance. The
Bible tells us if we would have God’s boundless affection, there’s but one
condition: We must love God without restraint and each other without exception.
I realize that loving some of us is a tall order, but considering the reward, I
suspect it’s worth the effort. And, just between you and me, God doesn’t expect
us to be 100% successful. He only
requires that we make an honest effort. I intend to try harder. I suggest you do likewise. Season’s
Greetings. SC
