In His Presence

I saw a brilliant star from far away. Descending down it stopped. There's no way! Somehow I knew there was a reason why! As I looked again, to my surprise! There was miracle taking place! A surreal feeling as I looked and gazed! The light from the star was over a mangers stall. As I walked toward it and looked at it, in awe! When I glanced to see. I saw a man, his wife, and a baby. I asked,"Is this a place to bring a child?" He said, " We had no choice. It will do for now." He said," My name is Joseph, my wife Mary and Jesus my baby son." I asked him, " Where are you and Mary from?" He answered. " We are sent by our Loving God to bring forth this child for all to love." " A virgin birth my wife Mary did bring. A special gift of salvation, given through him." I quickly got on my knees, repented, and prayed. " Oh praise you Lord on this Special day." I kissed him softly on this surreal night. Savoring this miracle moment for all of my life. I said in prayer, " Your Majesty you made the heavens and the stars too, and gave us everlasting life, for believing in you." " I thank you father for saving me!" I must now return to Galilee." "Mary, I will go and tell everyone. On this special birth of God's holy son!" Joseph spoke up and said, " Noble shepherd you can't tell anyone. King Herod wishes to find Jesus and cause him harm!" "Joseph and Mary I will go in peace. Never to say anything that was revealed to me." Joseph said, "Thank you, you're a noble shepherd. Mary and I thank you once again." "Your welcome my friends, now I must go. My sheep I must tend." "The joy and splendor of what I had seen! Brought tears of love, for my beloved King!" A noble shepherd. . * Special note. Christmas is about Jesus's birth. We celebrate God's precious gift that was tortured and killed sacrificed for our sins to avoid us from eternal punishment. Salvation is given free by you accepting him as your Lord God, believing he died for your sins, and repenting of your sins. If you do that you will have everlasting life in peace. God bless you all and please remember the reason for the season. Thank You... Michael Tor 11/17/2015 Isaiah Zerbst Christmas With Christ
