Christmas is always here

Joan Sieber Ware

It's sometimes hard to wait for Christmas, and it can be disappointing when we think it's over. But we don't really have to wait or feel sad. Actually, Christmas is always here! Of course, there aren't always presents, a tree, stockings, or lights. If that were all there were to Christmas, then it couldn't be always. But Christmas is so much more. Christmas is all about God's love for each one of us.

Why does God love us so much? Because we are His children. God is Father-Mother, Love, and we are His precious sons and daughters. We aren't just close to God, but one with God, living in divine Love. We are the very way God shows His goodness. We are His expression. We are absolutely, totally, and eternally needed by God. You can't have a sun without sunshine, you can't have a song without notes, you can't have mathematics without numbers, and you can't have God without man!

Christmas celebrates our oneness with God. Christmas love is God's love, His cherishing of His own perfect creation, and we're created by Him. In understanding more of our oneness with God, we see more of our spiritual goodness, more of our shine and His glory. We feel more of the Love that is God.
