#126- Drawn By God's Deep Love

We often think we need to earn God's approval, to be "good enough" before we can approach Him. But the Christmas story tells us something radically different.

Why did God send angels to announce Jesus' birth to shepherds? By worldly standards, they were completely unqualified. Yet God chose them.

Here's the beautiful truth: It wasn't the goodness of the shepherds that secured their invitation. It was the grace and love of God that warmly welcomed them into the most significant moment in history.

God's love makes the first move. While we were still sinners, Christ came for us. We don't have to clean ourselves up first. We don't have to reach some level of holiness. God has already extended His love to you.

Have you encountered this love? When the shepherds experienced it, they couldn't help but share it with everyone. That's what God's love does—it overflows.

You're not just an innocent bystander in the Christmas story. You're at the very heart of it.
