Thank You, Father, that You so loved the world that You gave Your one and only Son, our Lord Jesus Christ...that when the time had fully come, He wrapped Himself in human form, being born as a helpless baby in a poor family. Thank You that He walked here on earth radiating the brightness of Your glory and flawlessly expressing Your nature...and so, through Him, people saw You in action, involved with with them, available to meet their needs.

Thank You that He focused Your almight power into the lives of common people with deep needs, just like me...that He preached the gospel to the poor, proclaimed freedom to prisoners of sin, and recovery of sight to the blind, and set free the oppressed victims of sin and Satan - the downtrodden, the lost, the hurting, the broken. Thank You for the way He rebuked the arrogant and looked with favor on the humble-minded, opening wide the door of His kingdom to those who were destitute and helpless in spirit.

I delight in Your tender mercies, O my God, by which the Sunsrise from on high has come to us! You are worthy, Lord - worthy to be thanked and praised and worshipped and adored.

"But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son,
born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under law,
that we might receive the full rights of sons."
{Galatians 4:4}


May the Lord God Himself enable you to go forth ... nhzname!
