The Amazing Love of God

Savior God, the closer we get to celebrating Christmas, the more we are struck at the spectacle of your love displayed in the Christmas Story.  Like the Psalmist of old, we consider the works of your hands in creation, and we cry out, "What is man that you are maindful of him??"  The answeer comes to us out of the past - we are your beloeve children..  How wonderful that you have revealed that divine truth to us through the birth of the Christ Child.  We bow down before you in adoration and praise, O Father, yet at the same time we yearn tojump into your loving arms like little children, and to feel your strength and the comfort of being in your embrace.  May we knock down all our walls of resistance to your love and open our hearts once again making room for the birth of the Christ Child.  Amen.
