O Come Let Us Adore Him

December 22
"Come to me and rest in My Presence. As I ponder the majestic mystery of the Incarnation..."
Jesus was the only one who was sired by the Holy Spirit.
He was born of the Spirit...a pure birth. Too amazing to fathom. It is way beyond comprehension. I could spend the rest of my life asking myself...How can that be? And you know what...I could never answer it with wordly words. How can it be...It is impossible by human terms...but "Nothing is impossible with God." (Luke 1:37)
It is what it is...because it is all God. He did it. He just wanted to. He did the impossible to give us the possible.
I am to follow the leading of the three wise men...as they “FELL DOWN in humble worship when they FOUND Jesus”.
Do I fall down in humility when I experience the healing power of my Jesus? Do I fall down and worship Him when He forgives me? Do I fall down at His feet...just because He is Jesus?
Luke 1:35...”the Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of th Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born wil be called the Son of God.”
Wow..the Son of God...why do tears fill my eyes right now about this? Jesus....the Son of God. What does that mean to me?
God sent His Son....to be born...
Why...would He do that? Why would He put Him through all of that....to live on this earth...to walk through life being ridiculed, questioned...doubted....all to just take that long walk to the cross...Our cross....to be crucified upon it....to go through all of that so I could live forever...so I could be allowed to walk through this life with free will to do whatever I want to do...to even choose to sin....yuck...but I do....even though I love Jesus so much. He did this so I could go to Him and say, “Sorry Jesus....for sinning again.” And then Jesus replies to me, “I forgive you Joni. Now pick up your mat and sin no more”. And then what does Joni do....she walks in His forgiveness, His grace...and oops..she slips and falls and chooses to sin...again. And she goes to Jesus...and He says, “Joni, I forgive you again. Now pick up your mat and sin no more.” He will forgive me over and over and over again...no matter how many times I may stumble and fall...That is why He came. That is why He was “sired” by the Holy Spirit. That is why He came. He wasn’t born so we could celebrate Christmas. He came so we could celebrate New Life....a New Beginning....a New Hope....a New Peace....beyond all comprehension.
Jesus....the true gift of Christmas. The night He was born in a smelly stable....His humbling beginnings to give me royalty treatment. Incomprenhensible.
“Look for A Star of guidance” in my life." It is always shining in my heart. The eternal flame in the depths of my soul....that will never die. I may cover it’s brightness when I allow my eyes to be focused on what is seen...on me.....on my circumstances....on my emotions....Yet the flame continues to burn...always. As I focus on this bright star in my heart....this star that God placed inside my soul...My whole being will shine because of what is inside of me...because of Him that lives in me...today, tomorrow...forever.
My Savior...My shining star....My eternal flame. May I always be aware of His presence all around me...no matter what my eyes may see.
He is all that I need. He is all that I want. He is all that I am not.
He is my Christ Child...born for me...
And I answer His call...in stillness....
“O Come let us adore Him....Christ the King”
