Reflecting on the birth of Christ, floods our hearts with worship & gratitude. Humanity couldn’t ascend to God, so He descended to us. Pure grace & mercy. Unearned, unmerited, undeserved.
In sheer humility he stooped all the way down to us. Down from the glory of heaven, to the straw & dirt of a battle-scared earth. Exchanging immeasurable riches for lean poverty. Angelic praise & adoration for ridicule, pain & suffering.

The most wonderful truth of #Christmas 👉 “But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.” [Gal 4:4-5]

The reason why we sing Christmas songs is because with these “sweet hymns of joy”, we sing FAITH right into our hearts!
"Truly my soul finds REST in God ALONE" [Psalm 62:1]. Over the years, I've looked to some pretty ordinary sources of rest, that turned out to be no rest at all. Yet there’s nothing like the soul rest we find in God alone. The ancient practices of prayer, Scripture & meditation.
God is the One who speaks into the chaos & darkness of our world, whispering it into NEW LIFE! “He calls into existence the things that do not exist.” [Rom.4:17]. May God’s Word bring a garden of Eden out of your life in 2021. Happy New YEAR!!
“God, unseen until now, is revealed in the Voice, God’s only Son, straight from the Father’s heart” John 1:18. Christmas, the Voice of the silent God, breaking-in to a weary world. A baby screaming out in the middle of the night for a feed. God with us. Incognito.

The prophet had a vision of incredible rivers of LIFE. God’s plan is to refresh, renew & revive His people for great days ahead! “Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness & RIVERS in the desert” [Isa 43:19].
