“I will declare that your love stands firm forever, that you establish your faithfulness in heaven itself.”     Psalm 89:2   sunset beautiful“The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us.  We have seen His glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.”     John 1:14

Have you ever walked outside in the evening and looked up to see the most glorious sunset imaginable and felt the absolute awesomeness of God?  To think that this mighty God loved us so much that He came down to earth and gave His life for our sins so that we might know Him and have a relationship with Him overwhelms me with amazement.  Oh how I love Him!  This Holy God delights in us and wants to protect and guide us.  His love and concern for my life fills me with joy and makes my heart sing!

Jesus is the greatest gift the world has ever received.

But what can I give Him?

I will give Him my heart filled with love.

I will give the gift of love this Christmas to my family, my children and spouse

and I will give the gift of love in His name to all I know and meet this year.

“I will sing of the LORD”S great love forever; with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known through all generations.”     Psalm 89:1

When Love Was Born  artist: Mark Schultz

Starlight shines, the night is still.  Shepherds watching from a hill.  I close my eyes to see the night when love was born.

A Perfect Child gently wails.  A mother bends to kiss God’s face  I close my eyes to see the night when love was born.

Angels fill the midnight sky and they sing Hallelujah,  He is Christ, our King.

Emmanuel, Prince of Peace,  Love came down to you and me.  Heaven’s gift, the holy spark to light the way inside our hearts.

Bethlehem, through your small door came the hope we’ve waited for.  The world was changed forevermore when love was born.

I close my eyes to see the night when love was born.
