He Came for You
As we celebrate Christ’s birth this season, the celebration in our hearts should revolve around the joy of being loved. Through Jesus, the heart of God unashamedly proclaimed His love for you. He chose to come for you!
You have a Savior who is committed to you. He is the friend who sticks closer than a brother—someone connected to you by blood and experience. So when life gets rough, you can rest in the knowledge that He will never, ever abandon you. You are never alone.
As you think about the reason for His coming more than 2,000 years ago, allow the Lord to touch your heart with a renewed sense of His presence. Maybe you’re struggling with a deep hurt, and you wonder how you’ll be able to cope with all that pain. Jesus—Emmanuel—is near to you, and He will walk with you through any trial and comfort you with strength in the midst of any suffering. Let the meaning of His coming into the world bring new hope to your life even now.
Activity: On your bathroom mirror, use a dry erase marker to write the words chosen and accepted. Remind yourself each morning that Jesus chose and accepted you.
Scripture
About this Plan
On a quiet night 2,000 years ago, angels brought news of the Savior’s birth to shepherds tending their flocks—and after hearing the news, those same shepherds left everything to seek a baby in Bethlehem. All these years later, the invitation has not changed. Join Dr. Charles Stanley as he helps you draw near to the Savior, encouraging you to make time to rest in the Father’s love this season.
