One of the the wonderful things about God taking on human form in Jesus is the mutual understanding it creates between us and God.
For this post, I'd like to first discuss how this means God understands us. Certainly God has always understood us in the sense that he knows us better than we know ourselves. But perhaps one could say, "God doesn't know what it feels like to feel lonely, to be rejected, to be hungry or cold." But with Jesus that is not the case. Jesus experienced everything we have experienced. He knows how you feel. He understands what you're going through. And he cares. It is never true that no one understands, no one loves you, or you are alone. Love and companionship and strength and guidance are only a prayer away.
Merry belated Christmas!
