MY SAVIOR'S BIRTH
Today's reading: Revelation 1-7

Have you personalized Christmas? No, I don't mean making it all about you, putting your name on every package under the tree or lighting up the yard with strands of lights spelling out your name. I mean have you made the time to make it personal this year.

I've had help doing it. It started a Sunday or two back when a certain song was played prior to worship service. No, not a Christmas song. It was this song written by Tommy Walker...

'I have a Maker
He formed my heart
Before even time began
My life was in His hands

I have a Father
He calls me His own
He'll never leave me
No matter where I go

He knows my name
He knows my every thought
He sees each tear that falls
And hears me when I cry'

That's Whose birth we're celebrating! He is Who the season is all about! His coming to earth as a baby is the reason for the festivities, cantatas, plays and midnight candlelight services. This Promise fulfilled is our hope, peace, love and joy.

This Baby, who knew--and knows our names!
