A Message of Inspiration From the Author of Living Loved, November 16, 2025

Hey Friends listen to what John 1:14-18 [14] So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was FULL OF UNFAILING LOVE and FAITHFULNESS. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son. [15] John testified about him when he shouted to the crowds, “This is the one I was talking about when I said, ‘Someone is coming after me who is far greater than I am, for he existed long before me.'” [16] From his abundance we have all received one gracious blessing after another. [17] For the law was given through Moses, but God’s unfailing love and faithfulness came through Jesus Christ. [18] No one has ever seen God. But the unique One, who is himself God, is near to the Father’s heart. He has revealed God to us.

Friends do you feel that?  Do you feel what that is saying?  He became flesh and made his home among us and he was FULL OF UNFAILING LOVE AND FAITHFULNESS.  From HIS abundance we have received one gracious blessing after another.  Grace after Grace.  Unfailing.  Faithful.  Love. He became flesh to give us what the law did not.  HIS righteousness. He came to give us his righteousness. To give us a way to him. Heaven poured out love and Jesus was born in a manger. Taking on flesh. Taking on the humble position.  The one who was near to the father’s heart came. In love.  Stepping in front of our consequence and being born specifically to die for us.  You see from the cradle to the cross, Jesus as a baby was delivered from Mary but later was delivered to Pilate as a savior.  Angels declared the Good News of Christs birth and then he  declared the good news of salvation at the cross through his death.  He was wrapped in strips of cloth at his birth and was stripped of his clothes at his death.  The shepherds worshipped him at his birth and the solders mocked him at his death.  When Jesus was born the angels gave glory to God and in his death Jesus cried out it is finished and the full glory of the redemption from God was revealed. He came as a baby, in the flesh to live the sinless life we couldn’t to show us the way to the cross where his love poured out, mercy was given and at the cross is where grace was born and salvation came at his resurrection.  Glory glory glory to the God who became flesh and dwelt among us.  Glory glory glory for the babe born in this season we celebrate. Glory glory glory to the God who died to give us life.  And because Jesus returned to Heaven and now sits at the right hand of the father and is so near to the father’s heart, we rest near to his heart, in the shadow of his love.  May we remember this is the love story of God to his people.  It has always been his love story.  God so greatly loved us he sent His son to live, love , and die for us.   Glory glory glory to god almighty!  Rest in him friends, so near to his heart.   You are so loved.  Live loved friends!!
