Just a reminder that the Christmas story is also God reminding you not to think less of yourself.

God didn’t bring Jesus to Prince William and Princess Kate in Buckingham Palace. Lovely as they may or may not be.

No, the point of Christmas is that you are Loved just the same as everyone else. Don’t let the religious leaders or the social media influencers tell you differently.

Even if all others see you as is an unwed homeless immigrant teen mom who can only afford a weekly motel in the rough part of town.

Jesus was also born in a ghetto of sorts. To someone who would have been ostracized.

On purpose. Not as a last resort.

Because Jesus came to redeem how you see God and yourself. And then others.

You are already Loved.

God still sees you as Their kid. No matter what you have or haven’t done.

And we do abandonment because of our brokenness, but Trinity does not.

Remember how excited people can be at the birth of a new baby. Think of that when you think of how much God loves you.

Period.

Even when you’ve turned your back and done the worst.

That’s why angels sing on high. Because there is no other greater Love. That absolutely does not depend on us.

Amen?
