01:36.

"O holy night, the stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn,

Fall on your knees,
O hear the angel voices.
O night divine,
O night when Christ was born!
O night divine,
O night,
O night divine"

- O Holy Night


Blessed Christmas, every one. Remember the Reason for this season. Not crass commercialism, not even gifts and carols, but the Almighty laying aside His Majesty and taking on the restrictions of a human body. God Incarnate, Christ with us, Emmanuel, Jesus Christ. The indignity of a human form, the weakness and fragility of a human body, a baby... Jesus didn't skip the ugly parts of life.

I still don't understand why You did it, Lord.

But then, maybe that's why I don't understand love very well.

But Lord, though I can't get it, I love you so very much so for doing it. For coming and not leaving. For being and loving. For being Love and Goodness and all that is beautiful.

I love You, Lord Jesus.
