On Christmas Eve God gave me this poem. I just had to share it. The Holidays are over and Christmas is now behind us until next year. But what Jesus did by coming into the world and more importantly into our hearts is an on-going, day to day reality...thank God for His unspeakable gift, His continuous presence in our lives!

+++IMMANUEL+++

 

GOD IS WITH US

GOD IS FOR US

GOD IS BESIDE US

GOD IS WITHIN US

GOD IS ALL AROUND US

HE CAME BY WAY OF A MANGER

A HUMBLE STABLE

HE NOW LIVES AND EVER REMAINS

IN OUR HEARTS

HE CAME TO STAY

TO NEVER LEAVE

OR FORSAKE US

ABIDING, PRESIDING

ENRICHING, ENLIVENING

HE IS HERE, RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW!

FEAR CAN'T STAY

SICKNESS HAS TO LEAVE

DEPRESSION MUST GO

BITTERNESS MUST DEPART

POVERTY, LACK, MUST BACK

OFF, EXIT, SPLIT

HIS PRESENCE

THE GREATEST PRESENT

OF THEM ALL

NO WONDER WE EXCLAIM

MERRY, HAPPY, JOYOUS

CHRISTMAS...
