My dear God,
Heavenly Father of magnanimous omnipotence
gratitude fills my heart, esteeming You earnestly
cheered by Your loving kindness, indeed pure
commencing Christmas in Your sovereign calendar...
Blissful am I for Your wisdom
propping me to comprehend holiday’s essence
along imparted truth that bereft of CHRIST
Christmas is meaningless and void…
since such is the birth of Your Son, Jesus Christ
the “Emmanuel”* Who is the Saviour…
Gripped with Your peace
my soul basks in wondrous delight
to believe CHRIST as the Deliverer
freeing “Me As Sinner” completing my CHRISTmas
once condemned to suffer in hell-fire’s wrath brought by iniquities...
Yet because of Your authored Christmas
the incarnation of Your Son, becoming human
miraculously conceived by the Holy Spirit
You reached down to me, offering eternal redemption
sealed with Your relationship divine…
Through Your granted faith
here am I ... at awe of Your compassion
marked by Your precious gift, the CHRIST
Messiah --- assuring forgiveness, hope, and peace…
Now in worshipful spirit, I come to You
exalting Your name, esteeming and honouring You Deity
for CHRIST … the season's reason
to celebrate Your goodness midst humble devotion
inclining my whole to You, trusting Your Word
acknowledging Your leadership as to You I yield…
This Christmas time, hear my supplication, gracious Lord
as I renew my commitment to serve with diligence
sharing the Gospel, testifying about Your mercy
triumphing along Your marvelous deeds
staying in Your blessed will of life-building pursuits…
Pleading for Your strength, my Almighty Father
enable me then to walk with You constantly
bearing the light of CHRIST***
toward glowing stewardship.
Sincerely yours,
thankful child
*Matthew 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
**Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
***Philippians 1:21 For to me to live is Christ…
