In times of economic, social and moral hardship, when it seems that we are divided as never before, when we cannot seem to trust our government to protect us, and to advance America’s interests. In times of wars, viruses, and free speech censorship, we as Christians still have hope and have a good reason to be joyful. This is a good time to remember what being a Christian truly is. To be joyful and hopeful, despite it all. Jesus came to redeem our fallen nature and to open the gates of heaven for us out of pure mercy, out of pure love. We have done nothing to deserve that gift. So, today we are reminded to love like He loves. Him first and foremost, and our brothers and sisters like ourselves. That is the true reason of our hope and joy. Our father, our Lord, our savior, our strength, our joy, our hope, our peace… Was born today! He is pure love and we are his children. No matter what happens, do not forget that. Be proud, be grateful. Be Christian. God bless us all. God bless America. Merry Christmas to all.
