It is about love
John Eldredge's December letter addressed Christmas and it made a great point. When you walk around the mall wondering what on earth you'll get your wife and you hear Christmas music playing, say to yourself, "It is about love".

Whenever you see a Christmas tree, say to yourself, "It is about love."

When someone surprises you with a visit or an unexpected gift - say to yourself, "It is all about love."

A client came into our office on Monday with a gift of goodies. She recently lost her husband and has been really struggling yet through her pain she thought of us.

It is about love.

A good friend of mine from YoungLife came by my office today. I missed him. He left a little gift.

It is about love.

This season is way too commercialized and society has ruined the message of Christmas. Drown that out. Say to yourself - "It is about love".

Even though we are rotten in places. Even though we have good intentions and fall way short. Even though we think evil thoughts about those who oppose us. Even though we lust and crave and hate. Even though when times are good we turn our backs on Him. Even though...

He loved.

Even though we fall short...He cared enough to love and suffer and die on our behalf.

Even though we constantly forget - He never forgot.

It is all about love.

Soar!
