Into His Image

A Christmas Prayer

12/25/2016

 
Picture
​Sweet baby Jesus!  You left your heavenly dwelling of glory to be born among the lowly and despised of the earth, in a cattle stall among people who had no room for You.  From a throne of splendor to a straw filled manger, You humbled Yourself and be came like one of us in our very weakest and vulnerable state.  You came as a newborn baby, fully reliant upon an imperfect, inexperienced mother and father.  And while shepherds paid their respects, and wise men came to worship, the very people You came to save largely rejected and ignored You.  Their hearts and their doors stated “No room in the inn.”  And now, two thousand years later, many people still have signs hanging on the door frames of their homes and hearts declaring, “No room in the inn!”  But may we be like the shepherds of old who left their flocks by night and came to your bedside to worship.  Or may we be like the wise men from a far who traveled many miles in search of the King of Kings.  And may our Christmas prayer this year be this:  
"Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown,
When Thou camest to earth for me;
But in Bethlehem's home was there found no room
For Thy holy nativity.
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
There is room in my heart for Thee."
​~"Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne"

    Guest Post ~ When Stories Collide
    Stories are strange things. Because it isn't the big, important people who are usually the main characters; it's not the sunny, lovely days that move the story along. It's the little people who become the heroes. It's the disasters that cause the quest.  Read more
