God with us.
Matthew 1:23,KJV: "Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us."
Of all of Jesus' wonderful names, I think this one is my favorite, and the one that brings the most comfort, especially as a single woman who is often lonely, even when I'm not alone. To think of all Jesus left in Heaven to come here to earth and live as a man - and then die the horrible death He did - just for you and for me, is amazing. He came, to be with us. So the lonely need be lonely no more.
Wherever this finds you, this weekend before Christmas, stop for a second and praise the Lord that He came to be WITH US.
Merry Christmas!
Have the Merriest of Christmases this year Sarah!
