I had such good intentions not to let the approaching holidays deter me from posting my devotionals. Alas, today I fell into the black hole of the holiday rush... accidentally oversleeping, attending my son's preschool Christmas performance, spending time with my cousin who just had surgery, dropping off a job application, running necessary errands. And so here it is almost 3:00 already.

Are you feeling the rush and the stress too?

I thought that today I would simply post a verse that we could stop and reflect on. Something that reminds us of the intense love God has for us, a love so deep that it compelled Him to send His Son to earth as a little baby. He loves us so much more than we could ever comprehend. Stop for a moment and think about that... and tell Him how much you love Him.

-Becky

But Zion said, "The Lord has forsaken me,

And the Lord has forgotten me."

Can a woman forget her nursing child,

And have no compassion on the son of her womb?

Even these may forget,

but I will not forget you.

Behold, I have inscribed you

on the palms of My hands...

(Isaiah 49:14-16a)
