During a recent visit from a friend, I discovered that she, like myself, enjoyed crossword puzzles and had begun them as a brain workout. (I have finally graduated from the easy 3-letter puzzles, but I will never catch up to my mother-in-law).
As I thought about the puzzles, my brain began its ramble from "puzzles", to "words", and finally stopped at "Word". I looked up John 1:14, and read it and the surrounding verses.
Though we accept His plan by faith, many things will always remain a puzzle to us. How could the Word become flesh? How could He be God and man at the same time? His people knew He was coming, so why was this One-of-a-kind Child unaccepted and unwelcomed by them?
Lord, this Christmas I want to remember when I accepted and welcomed You into my heart. Thank You for the great comfort and joy that is mine because You became flesh and took up residence among us. Thank you for Your presence with me every day of every new year.
