"Any one thinking of the Holy Child as born in December would mean by it exactly what we mean by it; that Christ is not merely a summer sun of the prosperous but a winter fire for the unfortunate." — G.K. Chesterton, The New Jerusalem
Fear not, little flock. For though the darkness seems to grow, Christ is a warmth in the midst of cramping cold. Fret not the winter, for He burns hot against your adversaries. The rain He sends on everyone, but the growth He gives to you. While anyone can see the sun at length in the summer, to you it's been given to see it even on the shortest days of the year. The reign of Christ is kind and floods the world with His goodness. A summer sun can sometimes be taken for granted, but a winter fire always warms the heart.
Acts 14:21-22
When they had preached the gospel to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch, strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith, and saying that through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.
