Micah 5:2 - "But as for you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for Me to be Ruler in Israel, His goings forth are from long ago, from the days of eternity."

Love is sent to us in invitation form, but it is not sent as a surprise.  God knew and foretold of this Love since before we were created.  It has always been His plan.

We need love.  We need to feel love, to experience love, to be drawn to love, and to draw others toward love.  Love is central to our lives.

When sin enters our lives we become separated from God - and we feel separated from the love He has for us.  This is why God's plan must be fulfilled:  Love must come visit us.

If God's love for us was planned out long ago, how does He view our sins?
How has God prepared Bethlehem for Christ?  How has God prepared you?
What will you do to better receive the love God gives this year?
