Invincible made vulnerable,
Lord made lowly,
Not above me
Not below me
Beside me-
Emmanuel–God With Us, God with ME.
Love took on flesh to walk among us barefoot over the broken shards that bruise our hearts and make our feet bleed.
He knows my pain
He knows my frame
He loves me.
He didn’t have to do it. He could have decided that it wasn’t worth the cost. He could have wiped the slate clean and begun anew-He made the world the first time, He could have made it a second time just as easily.
But the God of the universe chose-He CHOSE-to purchase the broken and battered, the weary and worn, the wounded and limping for His treasure.
He’s still here. As near as your next breath.
Are you empty?
He will fill you.
Are you broken?
He promises to restore.
Are you weary?
He will give you rest.
Open your hands, open your heart and receive the Real Gift of Christmas.
