Chris Tomlin sings, “Jesus, the love song of God,” in his song, “Midnight Clear (Love Song).” Isn’t that the most perfect way to describe what Jesus is to us? Jesus is God’s love song to us.
On November 8, Michala and her three, precious roommates put up their Christmas tree in their apartment. The girls were so kind to send us texts of the progress of the tree going up and of the finished product. My heart was dancing. I was so excited to see them celebrating so early and loving Christmas the way I do!
More than the tree, I just love all of it. I love the lights and decorations. I love the baked goods and every smell associated with Christmas. I love the giddiness and excitement. I love the contagious joy associated with Christmas. I love the giving hearts of people.I love the generosity from faceless, anonymous people who don’t give for recognition, but they give to be helpful and kind.
I sent a little Christmas something to Michala and her roommates, as well as to my goddaughter and her brother. For my goddaughter and her precious brother, I said to their mom, “No godchild of mine is going to grow up not loving Christmas!”
I know I’m crazy with my early Christmas loving every year, and my Christmas countdown in June, but I can’t help it. I just love everything about Christmas.
Chris Tomlin’s lyrics thrill me to my bones, “Glory to God in the highest. Glory to God evermore. Good news, great joy for all. Melody breaks through the silence, Christ, the Savior is born!Jesus, the love song of God!”
Jesus, the love song of God.
Isn’t that so beautiful? Jesus is the love song God wrote for us. He loved us more than our minds could ever imagine. He sent His Son to this earth to make right every wrong, and Jesus died for us. No better love song has ever been written, than the beautiful love song God wrote through His Son, Jesus.
This is why I love Christmas so much. This is why, when it’s 110 degrees outside in July, and I’m hot and sweaty, you will find me in our kitchen, blaring Christmas music. This is why I love the lights. The lights on a Christmas tree always remind me of the light that overcomes the darkness.
That light is Jesus. Jesus, the love song of God.
