The Adoption & Foster Care Journey
Religion & Spirituality:Christianity
“This is real love—not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. 1 John 4:9
On Christmas, God sent his Son, born in a manger, as the greatest gift of all. The gift of Christ is the greatest demonstration of love to each of us.
The fourth episode in our Orphans No More Podcast Advent series focuses on love, not romantic love, all warm and fuzzy because we feel it from our fingers to our toes. But Real love. Love expressed when we don’t feel like demonstrating it. Love when we’re weary from sibling squabbles, meltdowns, sensory issues, and virtual school and therapies…but we show up anyway.
This is the sacrificial love God sent as the greatest gift ever given. We received this love when we received Christ. And if you’ve received Christ, you have the power to love like God—sacrificially, when you’re not loved back and when you don’t feel like it. This is the love that transforms lives, homes, and the world.
This week, as we celebrate the arrival of the Gift—we pray you will receive it, put it on, wear it, and wrap it around everyone you know. We pray you and your family enjoy a very Merry Christmas.
