Encouragement . . . for the journey 2014

You came

. . .  No fancy Palace, just a simple stable for the promised Messiah,
        King

. . . .  Animal noises ~ unpleasant smells ~ a lowly place of birth.

. . .  A Mother’s cry with pain ~ yet what JOY when she saw her son ~
        heaven’s masterpiece ~ God’s beautiful gift for all mankind.

. . .  Swaddled in strips of cloth she gently laid him on a manger of hay.

. . .  Outside the city an angel announced His birth to shepherds in
        their fields.

. . .  The sky became filled with the heavenly hosts that sang of His
        birth and proclaimed peace, good will.

. . .  A star shone bright to guide the way for the shepherds who came to see,
        this precious child ~ God’s gift to all who would believe.

. . .  This child, Jesus, came for you; He came for me with the purpose
        to redeem.

. . .   He came to offer life, abundant, full and free.

. . .   Have you received this precious gift or is it still unwrapped, His
         gift to you left under the tree?

. . .   Don’t wait another season, another moment to believe.

. . .   Trust Him who came at Christmas and His child you’ll always be.

Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift.  2 Corinthians 9:15

Yet to all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become the children of God.  John 1 :12

Though you have not seen Him, you love Him; and even though you do not see Him now you believe in Him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious JOY.  1 Peter 1:8
