Beloved of All
Lord, thank you for the beauty of your birth!! You amaze me Jesus.... So deeply in my heart that it is indescribable. What Love is this, that you should leave the ivory palaces of heaven where you were eternally complete? What Love is this, that you should leave the fragrance of Glory, and enter into the stench of our world? What love is this, that you would hear our cries for help, as we wasted away in our souls... Burdened with sin, and infected by the disease of our nature. What love is, this that you who created all galaxies should humble yourself in human flesh? What love is this that you would be pleased to dwell among us? What love is this that would be born as a sacrifice, in the manger of our hearts? What love is this that chose the cross? What love is this that while we were yet sinners Chriat died for us! What love is this that overcame death, hell, and everything that we fear? What love Is this that now lives forever and ever and communes with His children? Oh Father, King of Kings and lord of lords, to love with your love!!! That is the answer to every question! To grasp all of your love that we can with this finite breath of life we live.... Oh Jesus, grant that we your people would love as you have loved now as we reflect on the intimate wonder of your advent! I pray this for all of the saints, for your beautiful bride, whom you have washed clean with your own blood. May you teach us all this Chtistmas, what Love this is!!!! In The mighty name of our King Jesus I pray... Amen and amen!!!!!!
