Let's consider the miracle of Christmas.
Because of God's mercy and amazing grace,
in His perfect love His promise was fulfilled
one night in Bethlehem as God's glory spilled
across the night sky when an angel announced to the shepherds
news of a Savior born - the most incredible news ever heard.
The promise of salvation for all.
Forgiveness from sins now possible.
The miracle of forgiveness alone was bliss
but now eternal life was also promised.
Forgiveness of sins and eternal life offered for free.
This miracle of God's mercy and amazing grace for you and me.
Not through anything we have done
but because of God's love which had come
one night long, long ago
in a stable where cattle lowed
as God provided shelter
in a town helter-skelter.
God's provision - a miracle at the 11th hour -
proving that He is our rock, our strong tower.
And God still performs these 11th hour miracles today.
Miracles that build our faith and trust as we journey on our way
through God's mercy and amazing grace
faithfully sustaining the human race.
God's promise fulfilled by the birth of a baby
which was God's perfect love personified, truly.
Perfect love that offers forgiveness and eternal life also.
Perfect love that from the heart of God to our continuously flows.
Christmas signifies the gift of God's perfect love
when the Savior came down from heaven above.
May you realize the incredible love God has for you
not only at Christmastime but the whole year through
as you recall God's promise of a Savior who came to earth -
announced by angels, witnessed by shepherds - with a birth
nothing less than a miracle:
God's gift of love to all peoples.

God's love is perfect because it is unconditional
based on God's continuous mercy and amazing grace to all.
Unfathomable from the human mind,
this perfect love that God has for mankind.
God's mercy and grace, though undeserved,
always lovingly bestowed
for God desires everyone come to repentance -
to receive His free gift of salvation through forgiveness.
I pray that you have received this free gift.
A gift that will bring peace and joy to your spirit.
Receive God's gift of love to us -
the gift of Jesus - this Christmas.
The name of the Lord is a strong tower;
the righteous run to it and are safe.
Proverbs 18:10
You ave been my refuge, a strong tower.
Psalm 61:3
There is no fear in love.
Perfect love drives out fear,
because fear has to do with punishment.
The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
I John 4:18
Every good and perfect gift is from above,
coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights,
who does not change like shifting shadows.
James 1:17
Be imitators of God, therefore,
as dearly loved children
and live a life of love,
just as Christ loved us.
Ephesians 5:1-2
Dear friends, Let us love on another,
for love comes from God.
Everyone who loves has been born of God
and knows God.
I John 4:7
God's kindness leads you toward repentance.
Romans 2:4
If we confess our sins,
he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins
and purify us from all unrighteousness.
