God is Near

    One of the basic principles of Christianity is that God is near.  He created man and woman in His image so that God could enjoy relationship with his creation.  I am thankful God was not an animal activist because He might have chosen relationship with animals.  If God were an astronomer, He would have chosen relationship with the heavens and earth.  If God were a marine biologist, his choice for friendship would have been the great seas and oceans and the creatures in them.  If God were a sinner, He would have chased after a relationship with the things He created.  But, the baby God/Human was sinless and perfect and craved relationship with the man and the woman.  God is near us.  That's been His plan from the beginning.

    This Christmas, remember that you are celebrating the birth of Jesus who is nearby and ready to have a relationship with you. That's a God worth celebrating!   Merry Christmas.
