Rick Warren wrote a book titled "The Purpose of Christmas". I am taking a little time every morning to read a chapter and try to slow down this busy season and soak in what it really is all about. From time to time I am going to share a bit of what Warren says.
"We can know a bit about God by simply observing his creation. For instance, by looking at creation we know that our creator loves variety. Think of the limitless array of plants, animals, rock formations, snowflakes, and people. No two human beings are exactly alike, not even twins. God doesn't make clones or copies. Every one of us is original. After you were born, God broke the mold.
God must enjoy watching us enjoy what he has created. Otherwise why would he have given us so many ways to enjoy it? He gave us taste buds, then filled the world with incredible flavors like chocolate and cinnamon. He gave us eyes to perceive color and filled the world with a rainbow of shades. He gave us sensitive ears and then filled the world with rhythms and music. Your capacity for enjoyment is evidence of God's love for you."
God's love for us is unconditional, constant, and unchanging. Nothing we do will change it because it is based on his character, not our conduct.
sounds like a great book!
