“Christmas is the renewed invitation not to be afraid and to let him—whose love is greater than our own hearts and minds can comprehend—be our companion.”
— Henri Nouwen
The greatest ingredient in love is freedom. Love does not exist without it. To love is a choice.
In the joy of Christmas, we are reminded of the opportunities to love.
We can choose faith over fear. We can trust in the companionship of a God who has gone before us and is with us still. We can answer the call from Love to love.
Merry Christmas!
How might I celebrate the companionship of Jesus this Christmas?
May you be inspired!
