For God so loved the world

that He gave His only Son

that whoever believes in Him

shall not perish

but have eternal life.

For God sent the Son

               into the world,

not to condemn the world,

but that the world

  might be saved through Him.

                  John 3. 16-17

(That is the Christmas story.

You are loved.

You belong.)

Merry Christmas, my friend!
