Jesus humbled himself. He went from commanding angels to sleeping in the straw. From holding stars to clutching Mary's finger. The palm that held the universe took the nail of a soldier. Why? Because that's what love does. It puts the beloved before itself.

There is no religion like Christianity, it is not one religion among others, it is completely different, its mixing apples and oranges.

No one wants your worries...not even you. Anxiety comes at a high cost. Let Jesus lead you beside still waters.

God did everything necessary to get Herod's attention. He sent messengers from the East and a message from the Torah. He sent wonders from the sky and words from Scripture. He sent the testimony of the heavens and the teaching of the prophets. But Herod refused to listen. He chose his puny dynasty over Christ. He died a miserable old man.

Were it not for the shepherds, there would have been no reception. And were it not for a group of stargazers, there would have been no gifts.

How we handle our tough times stays with us for a long time.

You may go days without thinking of God, but there's never a moment when He's not thinking of you.
