The Christmas Search


We spend our entire earthly lives searching for Him. Even when we find Him-- we search.
The meaning--the reason--truly, do we ever know?
Could we ever grasp Him in His entirety? Who is He?
Lord--Savior--Prince of Peace--God incarnate. The names we know but even as we utter them, do we hold there reality in our hearts? Can we fathom the unfathomable?

We must start with the manger and the innocence it held.
A baby--a child.
Approach Him. See Him look out from the simple cloths that wrap Him. See the chubby hand as it wraps around His mother's finger. Hear His sigh and smell His sweet breath as He sleeps.
Love Him simply.
Love Him as you love a baby. Unconditionally--no questions.
Then slowly, prayerfully, realize this is how He loves you.

This perfect, wondrous baby--is your KING.
Your God has come to you--Emmanuel!

Place yourself beside His manger and worship your King--your God.

Then allow your soul to celebrate this gift and your journey to understanding will truly begin.
The journey that ends only when you look into His eyes as He reaches to embrace you in your heavenly home.
