God gave me a present today...Himself. Sound odd? Well, I've been struggling a lot the past few weeks with my thought life and despair. It was as if the scars over past hurts had suddenly become tender again and the world was tugging mercilessly at them.
But this morning I awoke relieved. Yes, I awoke alone in my apartment with no presents under the tree for me (kinda reminds me of a Japanese Christmas but without the pneumonia and pulled stomach muscles), but this morning I was relieved because Jesus came.
Funny how something that happened thousands of years ago can catch up to you now; but it's true. I feel relieved. It's all going to be ok. He came, the prophecy was fulfilled, the adventure began.
Everything else I wanted suddenly turns into a "it would be nice to have" when He gives me what I truly needed; relief in the thought that the promised Savior has come. He gave Himself.
Merry Christmas!
