Some stuff, situations in life, totally and completely suck. That's not so eloquent I know, but it just about sums it up.

But hey, it's Christmas. Christmas is all about Jesus. Jesus who chose to give up His Glory and come and live in our skin for a while. To feel what we feel, to hurt like we hurt, to be and go through all the stuff and situations we go through. He knows how we feel. He understands that it doesn't seems fair. It's not fair, some things will never seem fair, we'll never understand until we see Him face to face.

He came to die so that we can live. He came to set us free.

It's so awesome, I forget just how awesome far too often, how there's always complete hope and forgiveness and a future in the Lord Jesus Christ, no matter the present circumstances.

I'm happy I've got my camera in time for Christmas, I'll probably enjoy my other gifts and enjoy Christmas dinner tomorrow with my family. I'll have a laugh and a good time at a party I'll be at tomorrow night. All that stuff fades. It's good, but it breaks, it's not permanent.

The gift which God has given me will shine for all eternity. Jesus is the answer! It seems like a corny Christian saying, but it's true! (I love corny and cheesy anyway). He's the answer to the questions that appear in my heart. He's the answer to all my questions, problems and heart-ache.

Thank you Jesus for coming to rescue me, for dying in my place. I'm so undeserving of all you've done and all you have planned for me...but then that's Grace isn't it. Thank you for your Grace.
