At Christmas, we remember that God’s love does not wait for us to get it all right. It comes — unexpected, uncontained — right where we are. In this moment, and in every ordinary moment, God is with us.

This season, I am thankful to be part of Wesleyan Impact Partners and its ministry to help more people experience Christ’s love alive among us. I see this love in leaders who answer God’s gentle calls, in neighbors who show up when someone needs help, and in small acts of generosity that spread farther than we can imagine. Each gesture becomes a small space where Christ can be born again.

Christmas reminds us that love shows up in the most unexpected places, in the everyday moments we often rush through.

My prayer for you is that you know you are fully held and loved. May that love give you the courage to keep saying yes to God’s unfolding story of hope. And may we, together, carry the light of Christ into every part of the world, bringing warmth, healing, and peace wherever it is needed.

By the grace of God, may it be so, dear friends.

Merry Christmas.
