THE GIFT

By Silvana Lupetti

One of the valuable and beautiful things to know about Jesus is that He follows our lives starting from before the womb to beyond our death. This is God, mighty and powerful, everywhere at once with no boundaries in His way, yet he cares about us.

Imagine what it must be like for Him to see the infant, the baby, the toddler, the teenager, the young adult, on into the years of our middle age.

Then if He wills, onward to old age and the threshold of death. He knows the comings and goings of billions of people. He hasn't forgotten one of us.

He loves each individual person deeply. He looks on us as we look on our own children. He rejoices to see love and good in us, to see us grow and create and build, to do good in the world around us.

He also sees the sin in us; hurtful, destructive to those around us, to our families and our relationships. He sees the blackness of self over others, which is our sin, leading to bondage and death.

He lives through every moment in every murder on earth, and every suicide, and all the violence and hate, and His heart breaks.

Jesus wants our freedom with every ounce of His being. Day by day, moment by moment, He is with us, seeing all the events, good and evil, of our lives.

He mourns for us. He sends His Spirit and His angels to help us, to lead us to the One who created us. Jesus made the way through His cross. He weeps for our pain and enslavement to darkness, and does everything to rescue us, including giving the most He COULD give; His own life.

We are not alone. He is with us, among us, with power to save. He is the Way the Truth and the Life, and He is the path to freedom. As you think about Jesus, who was born among mankind, remember that He is real. He can speak and He will speak to you.

He will answer your cry and show you the meaning and purpose He has for your life and for every single life He made.

Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift! 2 Corinthians 9:15

Father, thank You for The Gift of Jesus. Let us give You our love, our friendship, and a desire to walk every footstep of our lives at Your side.
