Christmas is one of my favourite times of the year. I love the chance to spend time with family and friends, the great food, the games and some great films; "It's a Wonderful Life" has to be my favourite.
Frank Capra who directed that film knew a thing or two about film making. As my mom always says 'they don't make them like that any more.' The essential premise of the film is that no one's life is worthless or does not count for something. The main character gets to see what 'his life' would be like without him!
Unfortunately that gift is not available to us; but all of our lives count and matter. You are unique. Only you can do what you do! We did not just happen, we were created, we were destined, in effect we were chosen by God himself. Ephesians 1: 4 says Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us.
The love that God has for us is ultimately demonstrated in the gift of Jesus. Christmas is a time where we can celebrate that gift.
Finally as we think about Christmas think about the gift that God has given each one of us.....even better than the gift of seeing your life without you in it!!
Have a blessed and Happy Christmas!
