Jesus – The Reason for Every Season
by Ginny Bain Allen
I pray for you all a Mighty Christmas this year!
Cling to Jesus each moment
for He's ever near.
What's up with folks
proclaiming, "Happy Holidays?"
Inquiring minds query,
"Which happy holy days?
What's the point of the
holiday tree, season, vacation?
It's all about lifting Him
up, it's His celebration.
Becoming flesh to dwell
among His lambs lonely and lost,
In a stable born,
displaying humbleness at great cost.
To a carpenter born, a
carpenter He would become,
With each nail that He
drove, did He reminisce of His home?
Taking our sins upon
Himself – a prophecy fulfilled,
That I should such a
life destroy, yet live by Him I killed!
Arms opened wide for us,
love alone would have held Him there,
Needing no nails, scars of
obedience He'll always wear.
Wise, humble men seek Him
as their Good Shepherd,
Daily time spent with Him
in reading His Word.
Being still before Him,
peacefully listening, seeking,
Allowing His Spirit to
help us bide in His keeping.
In adoration we bow as our
hearts are stirred.
Devoted to pure living in
thought, deed and word.
Empow'ring us to live with
Him through His grace
We now must stand firm to
the end of this race.
