He understands

 

Because of the incarnation, he understands.

I just read those words in the devotional I wrote which is running now in Day by Day with God, published by BRF. How funny, that though I wrote those words, those simple words, over a year ago, as I read them here in the all-embracing warmth of a Brisbane Christmas, they struck me afresh.

Because Jesus was born in the manger, he fully empathises with me when I go through things. And he fully rejoices with me when I celebrate victories.

I am so grateful to God for everything he has done, is doing, and will do, in my life and in this world of his. I am so grateful that however dark the global atmosphere is, however menacing the new year may look, it holds no surprises for God, and he is lovingly working out his plans for us all.

Because of the incarnation, he understands. Praise God.
