I waited patiently, updating my mail for news, but after staying there for so long, I thought maybe the miracle would be a gift item or an alert stating a need met. But none came through, not in the way I thought.
Perhaps, like me, you were expecting a grand miracle or something to make this Christmas special. But what if it didn't happen as planned? Does that disqualify our celebration?
The greatest miracle we could think of is the miracle of the coming of a king, not through natural circumstances, but supernaturally. Instead of focusing on unfulfilled expectations, I pondered the greatest gift to humanity - Jesus. God's greatest gift to me and us.
I love the Christmas season, but it hadn't felt like Christmas for two seasons. As I reflected on the reason for this season, I realized that it was the miracle I needed. The miracle is not in the decorations or festivities, but in the fact that Jesus came. The miracle is the love God showed us by giving us His Son for a greater cause.
As I pondered and reflected on this miracle, Jesus became fresh in my life again. His coming was no longer just an event that occurred thousands of years ago, but a fresh occurrence that transforms, renews, and helps me become the person He has called me to be.
God's word in John 3:16 remains living and fresh in our hearts: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." God's gift to us is life. Not the kind of life we celebrate and leave out but as we meditate on this life, we see our own life transformed by his hand.
As we reflect on this miracle, we focus on Jesus, because we're not just celebrating a birth; we're reflecting on abundant life. Today, may the life Jesus brings reflect in our existence.
Merry Christmas!
Stay Revived!
