As a young woman, I felt alone. Misunderstood. Under-appreciated. I felt like no one really got me. I made some poor choices in a desperate attempt to find someone who would see my value, know me deeply, and love me fully.
I looked right past God.
The God who sees me (Genesis 16:13).
The God who knows me (Psalm 139:1-18).
The God who loves me (Isaiah 54:10).
The God who took on human form, who was born as a baby over 2000 years ago so He could experience our humanity and be fully with us.
Experiencing Emmanuel has changed my life. God is with me - I am never alone. I am fully known and fully loved.
Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel, which means 'God is with us.' Matthew 1:23The miracle of Christmas: the same God who was born as a baby in a stable long ago has been born in my heart and I will never be the same. Hallelujah! The King is here!
