Something that I find interesting and incredible is that our Lord and Savior can relate to us. He understands us and what we are going through. You might question this though. You might wonder how it’s possible God can relate to us. It’s simple really. Because when God came to earth in human form as Jesus, he was tempted in every way, just as we are. That’s why he understands. He gets us. He knows the struggles of being human. Yet…He did not sin.
When God became human, he went through pain and suffering. He knew that was coming. He experienced every aspect of human life. And yet he still chose to come to earth. With Jesus, we have someone who can empathize with our struggles. We have someone who’s always ready for us. Who’s willing to walk through our struggles with us. Pretty amazing.
So today, let’s be honest with ourselves. Let’s humble ourselves as we give our burdens to Jesus. Then we will experience growth and healing. This holiday season, let’s remember that we don’t have to face life alone. Let’s celebrate Jesus’s birth knowing that he is faithful. He is near us. He walked among us. He is in us. He gets us. He has the answers. He has ALL of the answers. Let’s be grateful that Jesus loves us. He always has. He always will.
