“Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” — Matthew 6:21

It’s easy to imagine that if Jesus were really King, He would have demanded a throne. Power. Authority. Recognition. A place that matched His worth.

But Christmas tells us something unexpected. Jesus didn’t come asking to rule from a seat of power. He came asking to dwell in hearts.

From the very beginning, His life made this clear. He was born without status, raised without privilege, and lived without chasing influence. Not because He lacked authority, but because His Kingdom works differently…

This is one of those conversations that rarely happens honestly, especially among women. We talk about lust like it’s a men’s issue. We talk about purity like it’s a teenage issue. And we talk about self-control like it’s a willpower issue. But Scripture treats lust as something much deeper:

So let’s talk about it…

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.” — John 1:14

If we’re honest, many of us expect God to show up loudly. We look for clarity through signs, answers through breakthroughs, peace through everything finally falling into place. We wait for God to interrupt our lives with something undeniable, something that feels powerful enough to change everything all at once.

But Christmas tells a different story. Jesus didn’t come loud. He came close. He didn’t arrive with trumpets or armies or announcements made to kings. He came as a baby, small enough to be held, dependent on others, wrapped in cloth and laid in a manger. God chose proximity over…

“Who, being in very nature God… made Himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant.” — Philippians 2:6–7

We often talk about the manger like it was an accident. Like Jesus just happened to be born there because there was no room. Like humility was a last resort. Like God arrived with limited options and did the best He could with what was available…

“Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.” — Ephesians 4:2
“The purposes of a person’s heart are deep waters, but one who has insight draws them out.” — Proverbs 20:5

As Candace Owens’ investigation and questions gained attention, another moment shifted the tone of the conversation entirely: her private meeting with Charlie Kirk’s wife, Erika.

This was no longer just about timelines or narratives. It was about grief, dignity, and responsibility. And for Christians watching closely…
