Feliz Natal!

FELIZ NATAL everyone!
 
So I´ve been thinking a little about the Savior´s birth and all the things that surrounded it.
Can you imagine how Mary felt?
Out of nowhere this Angel who appears whose glory is so great that she is frightened for condemnation. (why else would there be an angel?)
But who, at once, gives comfort unto her and says that she is pure and worthy to carry the Son of God.
With certainty, I´m sure she was doubtful. Me? But how could she deny the glory of a mesenger of the Lord?
And how did she reply even through her insecurities?: I will do God´s will.Besides Mary, many marvelous accounts happened around the Savior´s birth.
An angel appeared to the shepherds as well. Who also were frightened. But...
Luke Chapter 2
10: And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy. Which shall be to all people.
11: For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.

I can´t even imagine hearing these words. A savior? Christ the Lord?
They had waited for this day for so long. And finally here was the day.
The idea that he was just a baby, and so sacred. So pure. I feel this has more symbolism than I can even comprehend.
And I don´t think these people could even comprehend exactly what it meant that Christ was there. What he would do for all of us.
13: And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying
14: Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
The birth of Christ was such a miraculous moment not just for the people who could witness his life, not even just for us who are living today, but for every soul. So much that the heavenly host shout out in praise! Because they too, knew that the son of God was here to redeem us from our weaknesses. To fulfill our Father´s plan so that we can return!

I am so grateful for our Savior, Jesus Christ. For his life. For his birth. For his choice to be our mediator.
I pray for all of you everyday, but especially this Christmas season that you can feel the love the Savior has for you.

Thank you for the letters and the emails through my mom! They really do help everyday!
Have a wonderful and a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!
