I have been loving some of the new Christmas music on the radio this year. I am so aware of the lyrics and I am touched by how cool it is that so many of the words these artists sing have come straight from their own personal quiet time with the Lord.
Enjoy Brandon Heath's new song, "The Night Before Christmas."
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
John 3:16
It is sad how often we think this verse is "overused" and "cliche." It's not! There's no way it ever could be! It is the whole reason we celebrate- the reason behind even the trivial parts of this season. It is the only part that matters. It gives us reason to rejoice. HE gives us reason to rejoice. He drives us to love more deeply, give more genuinely, and enjoy life more fully because that is what he showed us in the thirty-something years he walked this earth.
"But the angel said to them, 'Do not be afraid.
I bring you good new of great joy that will be for all people.
Today in the town of David a savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.'"
Luke 2:10-11
Rejoicing,
