If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit. -Gal 5:25
And that's where it gets TOUGH. But we have the power of the God who created the universe inside of us in His Spirit. The power of Jesus who was born in a stable to die on a cross. The power of He who beat death to save us all. God could've told us to do this on our own, but He didn't. Instead, He came to us. He's been with us.
Let's help each other. Let's let Him guide us and keep Christmas all the year. When He is greater and I am less, others are loved and cared for well. It doesn't make us perfect. It makes us more like Jesus, though. It makes Him compelling to others.
My favorite movie is A Christmas Carol; The British Alastair Sim version (or Muppets. Whatever.) I love how Ebenezer saw the difference kindness makes and he changed. It changed the future, as well. I love how it took the power of three spirits to soften his heart to the world around him. It shows clearly that the life we live is who we are. What an opportunity!
Merry Christmas! God Bless us, everyone.
