Charles F. Stanley, in his book, "God's Way Day by day," wrote, "We must never forget that when we celebrate Christ and His birth, we are celebrating the God of heaven and earth. Some may not submit to His Lordship, but that doesn't change the position the Father has given His Son. Jesus is Lord whether recognized or not, and He wants to be Lord of your life. Anytime we fail to give Christ His rightful place in our lives--first place--we WILL miss out on the true blessings of God."
