BEAUTIFUL Christmas song and message…


I pray Lord Jesus that You shine the light of Christmas in our lives all year long. John 8:12 When Jesus spoke again to the people, He said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will NEVER walk in darkness, but will have the Light of life.”

This isn’t just a Christmas song. It has a great message for us all. We were all created by God, and chosen for a special purpose, a Kingdom purpose. What is your purpose, and what is your story that can help change this world?
Our Heavenly Father’s gift to all of creation is meant to light the way inside the darkness of our hearts and give us direction in this life.

Love came down for you and me-----No robe, no crown, just a Babe, minutes old trembling in the hay.

What a story we have in Luke 2: 1-20 of the day Jesus was born.

I just love how this song tells the story of how the inn keeper saw Mary as just a girl. Little did he know she was chosen by God, and about to give birth to not just a babe, but the Savior of the world.

There stood Mary and Joseph, knocking at the door to the inn about to give birth to Jesus. The inn keeper couldn't look her in the eye, denied them in because he said they had no room, and went back to bed. He tried, but he couldn't sleep and went out to the stable. There he saw Mary in her suffering. He knelt down, and in the light of the Great Star he prayed “what have I done….I’m so ashamed.” He realized he had turned away God’s own Son.

How many of us have felt sleepless nights because of the shame we feel from the light of truth that is shining in the dark areas of our life. Yet even though we feel the knocking on our hearts we have no willing room for change. Well, then we are turning the Savior of our hearts and soul away too.

I pray this Christmas that if you see Mary as “Just a girl” you will read the story again in a different light.
She was a virgin, chosen by God to carry His Son. That was her purpose, and she was obedient  to the Kingdom call in her life.

Maybe if we all fall on our knees, we will hear the angel voices of a Divine appointment like Mary, and be obedient to our call.

Merry Christmas, It is all about CHRIST!
