Dear Father God,

You promised, and You kept the promise.

Your Spirit hovered, enveloped the womb of a virgin, and she conceived.

Your holy, sinless Offspring  was born.  They called Him Jesus.

Your expressed Your very self by a living, breathing Word.

This Word became flesh and blood and bone and sinew.

He lived with us in the dust and dirt, the muck and the mire.

He was life.  He is life.  Eternal.  He offered it for free.

He showed us the Father, the expression of Your love.

He opened the way and invited us in, into the Holiest.

How precious did that Grace appear.

And now, we come to adore Him, Christ the Lord.
