God-With-Us at Christmas

Blog by Alan Fadling

We hope you’ve enjoyed a very happy Christmas this year. 

One of our favorite remembrances during the Christmas holiday is that Jesus comes to us as Immanuel, “God with us.” The reality that God is not a distant deity or an unavailable parent in heaven encourages us. God is right here with us, closer to us that we are to ourselves. 

In this holiday season, we send along our prayer that you will grow to know and rely on the loving presence of God-with-you in all your moments. 

May God’s empowering presence, his measureless generosity and his great goodness be with you. God seeks you before ever you seek him. And may grace bear the fruit of deep well-being, freedom from anxious care, and a soul at rest in the Presence of God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen! 

An unhurried Christmas to you!
