We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

The story of Christmas celebrates the fulfillment of God’s promises and the incarnation of God in human flesh. That meaning is memorably captured by John 3:16. God loves, and God gives in order to save… It meant giving rather than getting, and Christ gave until He was empty; but His obedience led to an empty tomb and ultimate vindication that will culminate when throngs in heaven and on earth and under the earth, not just a host of angels, will bow down and sing glory in the highest to the One whose name is above every name.
David Garland

Self-sufficient Christians are weak, easily deceived, ineffective in service, easily angered, over-confident, and ruled by their emotions. Insufficient Christians, who know they can do nothing outside the power and strength that Christ gives, are actually strong, because the power of God flows through their utter dependence on Him.

13:1 <> How long, Yahweh? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

13:2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, Having sorrow in my heart every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me?

13:3 Behold, and answer me, Yahweh, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;

13:4 Lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him;” Lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.

13:5 But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation.

13:6 I will sing to Yahweh, Because he has been good to me.
