Our Modern Christmas

So, we celebrate Christmas
But are missing the Messiah
No manger no mention
Of our need, to look higher.

God calls us to love
Have a heart that is pure
Not blemished, nor selfish
Repentant, in Him secure.

The deception of Satan
Is no different today
He appeals to our thoughts
To our desires, lead us astray.

This mystery unfolded
God reached out as man
As the Lord of Creation
As Messiah, His plan.

Now I’m freed, from being ‘Broigas’
Am reconciled, fully forgiven
And those ‘Broigas,’ toward me
I share forgiveness, God has given.

Though we love to be loved
If despised, love abides
For agape love, is of God
And such love overrides.

Yet our forgiveness, depends not
If hurt and pain, if we’re grieved
Nor our feelings, their responses
If apologies, are received.

How do you treat others
As a giver, or taker?
To unburden your load
Or to share, God’s favors?

As our lighthouse, our beacon
We can find the way
Jesus offers, eternal hope
Will we trust, and obey?

For each memory and hurt
God is able to take
And turn into strength
For His children that wait.
