Christian Encouragement for Everday Life

Who Is It Really About?

December 19, 2011 By Jen Leave a Comment

Christmas is about JesusWhenever I get to thinking it’s about me, I suffer. And yet my human nature always wants to make it about me.

What I deserve. What I don’t deserve. What I think is best. What I don’t.

Whenever I make it about God, the Spirit fills me with a new outlook. A new desire. A new spirit of mercy and love. Of new beginnings and fresh starts.

It’s often the approach I didn’t think to take, or the response I didn’t think to give. And that makes sense, because it’s really not about me; it’s about Him.

Thank you Jesus.
