Good will to men has been quoted often during this holiday season. What does this good will mean? Indeed God the Heavenly Father loved His creation so much that He wanted to provide the best for it. However, men loved themselves more than they loved God and turned from His best plan. They chose sin, rather than righteousness. This grieved the Lord's heart, but He already had a plan in place to restore men back to righteousness. Through His Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ, the Almighty extended His mercy and kindness to the world.

Many men, women, and children live miserable and afflicted lives. Perhaps you feel that you are one of these. Do not despair if this is true; the Lord has already decided to help you. In Jesus Christ you will find the salvation and blessing that you seek. He feels sympathy towards and is moved with compassion to come to your aid.

You, however, must seek after and welcome the Lord's aid. You cannot remain in your pride and rebellion, but come into God's presence with fear and trembling. Your attitude must be one of reverential obedience.

From the nativity to the present, the Father God's mercy and kindness has continued. Every kindred, tribe, and nation can receive the compassion of the Lord and that includes you. Why not receive it today? You will not be disappointed.
