A bright new year
Celebrations and expectations
So called “new yr resolutions”
Marked down as Prayer points in my journal
1,2,....5, 6 down
Applying “mustard seed” faith, its my first time around
Never done this before, I fear
None of this will appear-I stare at the image, “rear”
Past new years have been spent wasted, drunk with my peers
Beers, vodka, an overflow of tears
Resulting from the regret and neglect of self
I projected the image of a lost girl
When I was actually one of the elect-ed pearls
A precious stone, but sadly a ruby in dirt
Trapped in the math of confusion and hurt
But Christ came, died, resurrected, and in doing so, we were subtracted from the dark desinence
That awaited; what we deserved for our carelessness and our lack of godliness
The lamb, The Son. He was surely innocent
The price He paid, we called atonement
Grace saved, all in the exchange of our shame
We had nothing to offer Him in our desperation and pain
We lost and lacked everything, and yet we gained
Eternal life, in return, after this Lamb was slain
Our past desires birthed sin, and sin, herself, full grown was pregnant with death
Aborted, when He conquered the grave and got promoted
To glory, Our Savior is Holy!
The blood He shed covers our transgressions,
It begins with an honest confession
When we invite and accept Him
He forgives and delivers
You simply have to believe.
Christmas is here and no! Its not about santa
Us, we understand this, our CHRIST not like the “masses” that surround us!
When we think about lights, we are reminded that He is the LIGHT of the world
When we think about gifts, John 3:16 reminds us of how our Father gave His only son so that we may live
This is a celebration of how it all began
A young virgin girl and a carpenter
Obedient and submissive to the Father
Parents fit to raise a king
So my wish this Christmas is that we may serve, obey and forgive!
Love and give, instead of just receiving!
