God is With Us
There are many exciting things that come along with pregnancy—celebrating with friends and family, discovering the sex of the child, and picking a meaningful name for the child. For Mary, the naming part was already taken care of. She would give birth to a baby boy and he would be called Immanuel: God with us.
God with us. What a concept. No matter where we go, God is with us. No matter how seemingly far we fall, God is with us. No matter how deep into despair we feel, God is with us. In times of great joy or times of insurmountable grief, God is with us. Why is he with us? Because he loves us. He loves us and there is nowhere else he wants to be than right at our side. There’s no place too far or wide, too high or low, that the love and grace of God cannot reach us. It’s as simple as that.
Christmas is a special time where we gather with family and friends and reflect on everything that has happened that year. The holiday season is not only a time where we look back on the past; we also look forward towards the future. This Christmas, let’s reflect on the times God has met us with grace over the past year, and look forward to receiving his love and being more aware of his constant presence as we walk through our daily lives.

God loves us and is with us no matter where we go.
