A Child is Born

Isaiah 9:6-7
6 For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of His government and peace
There will be no end,
Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom,
To order it and establish it with judgment and justice
From that time forward, even forever.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.

Jesus, I thank you for coming to this world, in a lowly manger...it was most likely stinky and cold...it wasn't a nice hospital room like I was born in. One with heat and bright lights. It was probably dark..
Your mother, Mary, wasn't laying on a comfortable bed, with blankets and nurses to comfort her...instead, she was laying on a hard ground with some hay.
Your ways are a mystery to men and women, however they are so much higher than ours. You humbly came as a baby in a manger to save a lost and dying world. I thank you for what you have done for me, Lord. You are so precious. Born a King- THE KING OF KINGS- you came in the most humble way..yet are exalted in the most GLORIOUS way!! I praise you and bless you, Dear Savior and Friend. You are everything to me..

A prayer for this Christmas season:
Father in Heaven, have your wonderful way..I ask you to touch all those that need comforting at this moment, God. Bring them peace and joy. I pray that where there is need, that you meet them all according to your riches and glory in Christ Jesus. Give us compassion for one another..let us give a helping hand where we can..and let us keep our eyes on you no matter what. You are ALL powerful, ALL knowing and ALL present...thank you so much. I give you control of every area of my life. I surrender all and lay down my crown to you..Alpha and Omega, beginning and end. I love you. <3
