The weight of Your Glory is bringing me to my knees

in the Holy of Holies this moment of intimacy

see into me, help me to change, let me be clean

with trembling lips and hands, I can barely stand

because of the weight of Your Glory

The weight of Your Glory

Because of the weight of Your Glory

All I can say is Holy, beholding Your Grace and Mercy I bow down

holy, I bow down

Because of the weight

(Israel Houghton, “The Weight of Your Glory” from the ‘Real’ project)

 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 
[Luke 2:11]
 

The BEST Gift Ever Given

Good Afternoon Beloved,

This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!  Now let me start off by saying, I don’t have a clue when Jesus was actually born… alls I know is.. He was born and I’m glad about that, how ’bout you!   I celebrate not that He was born on December 25th, but that He was born.  God sent His love gift into the world to ransom sinful humanity back to Himself.  Now some people have a problem with being called sinners.  I heard one lady (who claims to have been a Christian at one time, but was enlightened by her “goddess”) lamenting on facebook that “it seemed everything was a sin“, and “that its only bad cuz we say so” and that her goddess let her do everything by “trial and error” .  Sooo, alrighty then.. ummmph.. wonder how that’s working for her.  (Heavy sigh) Sin is sin no matter what we call it.  It has been judged by The Judge and the penalty was death. That is the significance of the “Christmas Event”.  Jesus was born to die for the sins of humanity.  His love is so wide you can’t get around it, so deep you can drown in it, don’t worry, if you allow Him to breathe into you, you won’t die, you’ll have new life. His love is so high you can’t get over it, just let Him pull you up to where He is so that you can see from His vantage point.  Yes, I celebrate the baby that was born to a virgin, betrothed to a carpenter.  I honor Him and love Him completely.  God gave me a precious gift.  On December 25, 1988, He gave me a beautiful little bundle of joy I named “Jah”.  She has been the joy of my life.  Beautiful inside and out.  Precious and sweet.  I would not give her life for “good” and “wonderful” people, so you know, giving her up to save scoundrels is totally out.  They would just have to perish, BUT God… He sent His best, the one and only… King of all Kings, Lord of all Lords, Sovereign and Master of the Universe to be that bridge linking humanity back to Himself!  Hallelujah!

(pause)… that Beloved… is Good News!

Y Stress… U Blessed!

HAVE A FABULOUS DAY!

For unto us a CHILD is born, unto us a SON is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His Name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty GOD, The everlasting FATHER, The PRINCE of PEACE.

[Isaiah 9:6]

“The Gift That Keeps On Giving”

Merry Christmas… There… that’s right I said it!  Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas!  I love Christmas!  Always have… always will.  I know that there is a new trend amongst believers to distance themselves from the Christmas holiday.  Some cite the historical background as “pagan” in nature.  Almost a sort of idol worship.  Others don’t like the “commercialization” of the season.  They feel that if we’re celebrating the birth of Christ, why does everyone get a gift but Him.  All valid points.  My daughter’s birthday is December 25th, and I know there would be some consequences and repercussions if she didn’t get a gift.  Just kidding…sort of.  She is an only child, but she doesn’t mind sharing, however, she would think it strange if I gave everybody a gift BUT her on her birthday.  That thought made me think. My prayer today was, Lord, what do you want for Your birthday?  When He tells me, I’ll tell you.  The other argument against Christmas is the, “no one knows when Jesus was born” sentiment.  Well, my grandmother had no idea when she was born.  She told me that the courthouse burned and those records were lost many, many years ago.  There was a dispute in her family as to whether it was 1899 or 1900.  Somebody along the way sort of picked a date (January 10, 1899) and that is the date we celebrated the birth of my beautiful grandmother.  Her date of birth was not as relevant as the fact that she WAS born.  Earth was graced with her presence.  She was a wonderful person and we appreciated her.  We celebrated her life.  I have the same take on Christmas.  I celebrate my Savior.  I give because that is part of His nature.  We are most like Him when we give out of a loving, willing, generous spirit.  I celebrate that at some point in human history the Father loved us so much that He gave us His Son…. 

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

[John 3:16]

PRAISE THE LORD for His wonderful Gift of Love!  Merry Christmas!

U Blessed!

Have A Fabulous Day and a Wonderful Weekend!

************

And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)  And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.  And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)

 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with Child.  And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.  And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling clothes, and laid Him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.  And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.  And, lo, the Angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the Angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.  For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.  And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the Babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.  And suddenly there was with the Angel a multitude of the Heavenly Host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.  And it came to pass, as the Angels were gone away from them into Heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.  And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger.  And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this Child.  And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.  But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.  And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.  And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the Child, His Name was called JESUS, which was so named of the Angel before He was conceived in the womb.

Luke 2:1-21
