DECEMBER 25
My love became just like you.
Matthew 1:20-23
20 As he considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream. “Joseph, son of David,” the angel said, “do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife. For the child within her was conceived by the Holy Spirit. 21 And she will have a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” 22 All of this occurred to fulfill the Lord’s message through his prophet: 23 “Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel, which means ‘God is with us.’” NLT

My love was fully manifested to all creation when My beloved Son took upon Himself, the garments of humanity. Within His frail, weak little body, the eternal glory of My love was fully displayed to a broken, lost world.
In Our desire to be fully reconciled with those whom We loved, My beautiful Son gladly humbled Himself and took on the form of a lowly servant. In this way, He became like His brothers and sisters in every way, so He could save them from their sins and be their great High Priest.
So rejoice My child on this wonderful Christmas Day. The humble little baby born in a manger two thousand years ago has become the Savior of the world. For My love became just like you, so that you could become just like Me.
