Is your view of God similar to your view of Santa?

If you think about it you will have to admit that a lot of people view God the same as they view Santa Claus. Just about every time we talk to him it is to ask him for something and we feel like we can't ask for anything unless we are on his good list.

Christmas shows us a very different God. Jesus is the God who draws very near to us and he draws near to us regardless of what we deserve.

The "big man" that lives far away wants to be a lot more to us than a dispenser of stuff. The gifts that Jesus brings cannot be touched, he came to give us forgiveness, he gives us incredible love and the opportunity to spend eternity with him. What better gifts could you ask for?
