The Daily Blueprint for 12-27-07
UNTO US
part eight
LUKE 2:11
For unto you is born this day in the city of David
a Savior, Which is CHRIST the LORD.
As we say good-bye to another CHRISTmas season- lets not forget that all this was done unto us - God sent His Son to save us! Even with all our sin and imperfections - He still died for us - fully knowing the sins we would commit - He was still willing to die for us - He took the sting from death - and it all started in a manager - with the birth of a baby - Jesus - He was born in a lowly stable and would die on a rugged cross - This season is all about giving our ourselves for others - Jesus is our example - its been a fun and rewarding devotional series during the Holidays- but like all things here on Earth is has to come to an end - I try and hang onto CHRISTmas as long as I can - while those around me take down their trees and lights and get back to normal -whatever normal is. God has given us the greatest Gift of all - His Son -and this Gift will return one day - when He comes to take us home!
As we leave CHRISTmas - we look forward to next year -but not only that - we look back to the year 2007 -its been a hard year for me and my family and I know the only reason we have made it - is CHRIST and HIM alone - He was born in a stable - but His presence in our lives has caused a rebirth in our hearts! We are not the same any more - I realized that during my drive home last night - something changed in my heart 15 years ago and ive never been the same - God is forever faithful - He has a plan even when it makes no sense - how much sense did it make to have the King of kings born in a lowly stable - or to have JESUS nailed to a cross between two criminals and to see Him die - that made no sence - but in the end God put it all together -its the same with us - so I bid farewell to CHRISTmas 2007 and look forward to 2008 - God bless you and keep you - may HIS face shine upon you and remain with you always!
Praise HIS mighty name - this was all done unto us!
Unto us! Praise JESUS!
this CHRISTmas-praise GOD for the birth of JESUS and for our rebirth!
