You

YOU

Since the beginning of time

YOU have been on God's mind.

In case YOU've never heard

what's recorded in God's Word,

here's a few verses to remind YOU

that God loves YOU, for just being YOU.

YOUR name and YOUR days are written

in God's eternal book in heaven.

Before God formed YOU

in the womb God knew YOU.

God is thinking precious thoughts about YOU.

Not only is God thinking about YOU

He has a constant reminder of YOU

for engraved in the palms of God's hands there's YOU.

God knows about YOUR fears

and God collects YOUR tears.

God has a plan and purpose for YOU

and He will teach and direct YOU.

And it was for YOU God sent His Son Jesus

on this day the world celebrates Christmas.

God brought this good news of great joy to YOU.

This good news - a Savior, who was born for YOU.

YOU have been on God's mind

since the beginning of time.

* * * * *

YOU were the reason God sent His Son.

YOU are the reason Christmas comes.

It's not about the gifts you receive (if you behave),

it's about the gift that God in His great love for YOU gave.

He gave us a Savior that day

to take our sins away

when we believe

and this gift receive.

and look up some other Bible verses
