Well, it’s almost here. And in the calm before the storm, I wanted to write a post about how I really feel about Jesus Christ, but I found my words so inadequate that I almost backed out altogether. Then it occurred to me that many gifted and inspired writers before me had already expressed what I’m feeling, so I thought I’d borrow their words to share a few of the thoughts of my own heart this season:
I stand all amazed at the love Jesus offers me. Oh, it is wonderful.
And when I think that God, His Son not sparing, sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in.
Ponder anew what the Almighty can do, who with His love doth befriend thee.
And when the strife is fierce, the warfare long, steals on the ear the distant triumph song, and hearts are brave again, and arms are strong. Alleluia!
He lives! and while He lives, I’ll sing! He lives, my prophet, priest, and King!
Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay close by me forever, and love me, I pray.
Oh, that our faith may never move, but stand unshaken as Thy love, sure evidence of things unseen.
Hallelujah! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth!
Merry Christmas, my friends.
