Christmas 2

For its the mystery of the universe,
You're the God of holiness,
And yet You welcome souls like me,
And with the blessing of Your Father's heart,
You discipline the ones You love,
There's kindness in Your majesty,
Jesus, those who recognise Your power,
Know just how wonderful You are,
That You draw near.

Cos when is God nearer to the hearts of the people around us, than at Christmas? Even for those who do not celebrate it, or call themselves Christians, there's a different air about this season than at other times in the year. There's a reason Christmas is called the season of giving, and of forgiveness, in most parts of the world.

Its pretty amazing the way God welcomes everyone and calls them His children, the way a human being might welcome dust mites as children. Despite the fact we don't understand Him in the least, that we have been living for years causing Him a lot of bother, and that we're on a whole different level of existence, He singles us out and accepts us into His family. Not a one-time invite, but a standing invitation that extends till He comes again.

Hope everyone reading this will have a great Christmas. Don't forget the love waiting for you out there.
