I hope you are enjoying a blessed Christmas...we sure are enjoying our first Christmas in Texas :)
I pray you are enjoying a day with loved ones...and as I reflect on this Christmas, I pray you are enjoying the One who loves you the most.
This is from an online devotional I subscribe to called Of First Importance. This particular one is from John Piper:
“Be sure you see this most wonderful and astonishing of all truths: God took the record of all your sins that made you a debtor to wrath, and instead of holding them up in front of your face and using them as the warrant to send you to hell, God put them in the palm of his Son’s hand and drove a spike through them into the cross. It is a bold and graphic statement: He canceled the record of our debt, nailing it to the cross." (Col. 2:14).
Thank you, Jesus, for choosing to come and rescue...for choosing to be The Redeemer. Thank you for choosing to step out of glory and into the world.
A lyric from "While You Were Sleeping" by Casting Crowns, says
"...for the King has left His throne and is sleeping in a manger tonight..."
And He left glory and chose the humble stable because He loves so deeply, so dearly, so humbly, so completely...because He loves you and He loves me.
Thank you, Lord Jesus~
Here's a favorite Christmas song of mine (Future of Forestry, O Come Emmanuel)... please enjoy~
God bless~
