Your sins are the roadblock between you and your God. That’s why he doesn’t answer your prayers or let you see his face. ~ Isaiah 59:2b (CEV)
(The angel of the Lord said to Joseph,) “Mary will give birth to a son, and you will call him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” ~ Matthew 1:21 (CEB)
Thank you, Lord, for sending your Son into the world to save us. I definitely need saving. Like everyone else, I've created a barrier between you and me. But Jesus tears that wall down. He makes things between us right again. And it is all of your doing. I am so grateful for Jesus. For me, this Christmas is all going to be about expressing gratitude. Amen.
