Reflections at Christmas 3

John 1:3, “All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.”

The Word has creative choice. He is not subject to time, matter, or space. He exists outside of them. He is the creative energy that formed the universe and the laws that govern it. He also made you. You are not here by accident, regardless of what you’ve been told. You are uniquely designed, infinitely precious.

And as wonderful as it is that He spoke you into existence, He then breathed His life into you. We, like Him, are spirit beings created for eternity, and it is the eternal in each of us that cries out for our Abba, Father. You may not know it, or you may deny it, but your longing is for your Heavenly Father - a restoration to your origin, a going back to the beginning, a fresh start.

How incredible then that the Word who formed you, is able, by His Word, to do just that. The inspired Word can transform you, no matter where you find yourself, no matter how far you have strayed from home. All you have to do is call out to Him, spirit to Spirit. He is not a God far off. He is near; He is the Word; He is home. And He welcomes you.
