Celebrating Who He Is and Who We Are In Him

The more I celebrate the Christmas season, the more I am amazed at how God's love supercedes all my expectations. He loves us with such an unconditional love that fails in comparison to any description we could ever try to define. There is absolutely no measurement that fits the length or height of His love (Ephesians 3:18), and no description that can describe His Love for us (John 3:16). He just simply loves us unconditionally and there is absolutely nothing we can ever do to make Him love us any more, or to love us any less (Ephesians 2:8-10) (Romans 8:39-39). He knows every little thing about us, both good and bad, and He loves us anyway, just they way we are. 
Before we were conceived in our mother's womb, God had already designed a perfect plan for each one of us from beginning to end. We were wonderfully and fearfully made by His own unique design in who we are, how we look, how we think, how we talk, even how we walk, and we are His creation that He adores. Of all His creations, He loves us with a love that doesn't quit. The same God who created this universe created you and me and made us just the way we are.  
Take a look at the world around you; at all the infinite details and creativity displayed before your very eyes. All this amazing beauty surrounds us every day, designed by God's own hands and we are part of that creation; materializing from the same artist that created the sunrise and the sunsets, the rainbows and the stars, the flowers in the fields, the mountains and the streams, the birds that fly in all their splendor and all that exists.  Each creation has its own design and its own purpose; and when I think of all He created, I find it so neat that after each creation, He declared, "It is good!" 
He is well pleased with His creations, so why do we allow others to make us feel less than what He created us to be. We are His creation, not the world's. We were designed by the Master's hands with a master plan as He declared in Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you, declared the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." So when people attempt to put you down or to make you feel less self worth, take a moment to remember who your Father is and Who He says You are in Him: You are Child of the Most High God and there is nothing He won't do to protect and comfort you. You are the apple of His eye (Zechariah 2:8), the head and not the tail, above and not beneath (Deuteronomy 28:13); and it is His good pleasure to wrap His loving arms around you and let His Spirit flow through you, empowering you as only He does best. 
This is the season of giving love, and because He loves us, so should we love others. So let's give and receive His love today and always. Be comforted and blessed by these words, dear friends, God loves you and so do I~~~
