Know that you are loved


Christ: The Real Gift of Christmas

This year has been trying. However, it has given me an even greater assurance that my Heavenly Father is aware of me, that He loves me. It has increased my knowledge that my Savior Jesus Christ loves me.

Christ chose to follow His Father's will. He is the ultimate example, the light that we can follow.

"I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth in me should not abide in darkness." (John 12:46)

He suffered for our sins, became a literal savior. Christ died on the cross and was resurrected. He lives. He loves us. He beckons for us to repent and follow Him. He does not turn His back to us but is always waiting with open arms. Whatever our burdens may be He calls to us:

"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." (Matthew 11:28-30)

We have the love and care of our Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ. We have not been left to navigate alone. The guidance is there if we will ask and listen.
