The WORD of GOD Is Born

As I’ve said before,
I wish I could have been more prepared,
more ready to receive Him.
Much of the world was not ready 2021 ± years ago,
just as much of it is not ready for Him now.
But, for the 2021st time, or more,
(Infinitely more, in a sense).
He.
Was.
Born.
Last.
Night ! ? !
Could it be?
Yes, it is true! :

It’s Christmas Day!

Then. the season of expectant waiting is complete!
I light the largest, purest, center candle,
the only One left unlit,
and the flame in my heart roars to life!
To life!
Hope is fulfilled!
In our Immanuel, all prophecies and promises are now reality!
His name is Light of the World!
His name is Peace!
His name is Son!
His name is Love!
His name is Jesus!
His name is God!
His name is the name above all names,
And His presence is good news,
bringing great joy for all people!
His presence makes darkness flee!
The Light of the World has finally come!
And like so many believers,
so many bloggers, ministers,
Singers, musicians, and evangelists,
I repeat the sounding JOY!

Joy To the World,
and Peace to ALL mankind!

Joy to the World, the Lord has come!
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing!

Joy to the World, the Savior reigns!
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy!

No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found,
Far as the curse is found,
Far as, far as, the curse is found!

He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders, wonders, of His love!

And yet,
it is not over . . .
I must keep preparing ;
keep waiting expectantly;
with faith, and hope,
with all the peace, joy, and love, grace can provide;
The “second” and final Advent begins now,
He is coming back here,
Not in humble meekness this time,
But in all His Power, and all His Glory!
And all Creation is pregnant with anticipation!
