"These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace.
In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer,
I have overcome the world."
John 16:33
It's Christmas. Theoretically, the happiest day of the year. Honestly, I've had happier days. But the truth is, it doesn't really matter. About two thousand years ago, God made a radical move -- He sent His Son, the Creator of all that is, to enter the world as a helpless baby, totally dependent on an ordinary teenage girl. But He was to become not only Creator, but Overcomer of the world He made. That infant would live through all the trials of humanity, and yet never once fail. I can't even handle one trial without a mess! He has every reason to write me off as hopeless, and without Him I am. But He didn't. Instead, He offers me His perfection in place of my sad efforts. He has overcome for me! Thank You, Jesus, for Your indescribable gift!
