The Savior is Born

Unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. (Luke 2:11)

For many, the Christmas season brings to mind some of the most pleasant and vivid memories of childhood; the hustle and bustle of shopping, decorating, and wrapping gifts; the aroma and flavor of special treats, like my motherÔÇÖs fruit cake cookies; the smiles of laughter of family and friends; the anticipation and joy of opening presents, I still recall the look and excitement on my childrenÔÇÖs faces when they were small as they came to the tree to see what was there, those memories will never fade.

But to some, not all Christmas memories are happy ones. For some, the recollections of Christmas past are bound up with feeling of deprivation, heartbreak, or loss. But, Praise God, there is a message of hope that still rings out to all of the events of the first Christmas, regardless of past experience or present circumstances.

Thank You Father of the good news that a Savior was born, one who would bring freedom to the prisoners, sight to the blind, deliverance to the oppressed, healing to the brokenhearted, and acceptance to the outcast. The Savior was born for us, we are the blessed recipients of GodÔÇÖs favor, oh, what a gift. Lord, help us share what You have done for us, and not keep a secret of such an awesome gift.

The Almighty God entering the world in the form of a helpless infant, the eternal plan of God culminating in the birth of a child, the greatest miracle ever conceived, lying in a manger.

Thank You, Father, for the gift of salvation that our Savior brought to us. Lord, I long to get to that place that I can open my present with You, and help us remember that humbly You came and humbly we will go.

Jesus was born to be the Savior of the world, the glory of God and the salvation of the world was revealed in His birth. Thank You Father for the treasure of Heaven that You sent into the world that first Christmas day; the gift of Love addressed to each of us, a gift that keeps on giving. ÔÇ£Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!ÔÇØ
