THE FINAL NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS ONE DAY?
Twas the night before Christmas
and all through the world.
The spirit of peace
was finally unfurled.
When suddenly a roar
burst forth from the sky.
What was now happening!
“Are we gonna die?”
People sprang forth
clear from their slumber.
To crashes of lightening
And poundings of thunder.
From the east to the west
all started to say.
“No, it was not me
It was not that way!”
For in many languages
such words were now uttered.
People began weeping
and some even shuttered.
My gosh, what was happening
how was anyone to know?
There was no explanation
what God wanted to show.
See an inner convicting
was now taking place.
As each living soul
was meeting God face to face.
Though we can’t understand
just how this could be.
Oh how God was able to speak
to each one of thee?
But you see in His ways
it’s not about us knowing.
It’s all about eternity
and where we are going.
So if today all our ways
are not leading us above.
God’s giving us time
to accept His pure love.
Take this Christmas time
and ask Jesus to come in.
Turn from all evil
and turn from all sin.
So, when Jesus returns
on that given day.
We will be assured
what the Father will say.
“Well done faithful servant,
It’s Heaven for you.
Step into My presence,
your journey is through!”
Now if these are the words
that you long to hear.
Grab hold of the season
and it’s meaning this year.
Remember that Christ
Stand to wait at the door.
With Him your new life
will become so much more.
Let God be your master
your LORD and your King.
Allow Him to rule
over every single thing.
And, in closing may God
bestow His peace over you.
As you do in your heart
What He calls you to do.
Amen
