All in one baby Jesus.

All in one baby Jesus;

Moved by his great love for the entire world,
Kindness and mercy overwhelming our Father,
Yet in His justice he still had us in his heart,
Giving us the best through his only Son,
His grace, his light and love all in one baby Jesus.

To those lost in despair and pain, a baby is born.
To those lost in self righteousness, a baby is born.
To those oppressed by the evil, a baby is born.
To those hated and excluded, a baby is born.
His grace, his light and love all in one baby Jesus.

To those in hardship and suffering, a baby is born.
To those enslaved by man and the world, a baby is born.
To those who hunger and thirst, a baby is born.
To those who 'know' and know not, a baby is born.
His grace, his light and love all in one baby Jesus.

To those overtaken by lust, a baby is born.
To the servants to greed and gluttony, a baby is born.
To those overcome by wrath and vengeance, a baby is born.
To the envious and proud, a baby is born.
His grace, his light and love all in one baby Jesus.

To the oppressor and to the oppressed, a baby is born.
To the master and to the slave, a baby is born.
To the persecutor and to the persecuted, a baby is born.
To the weak and to the strong, a baby is born.
His grace, his light and love all in one baby Jesus.

To reconcile us back to God in incarnation, a baby is born.
To comfort and encourage us in love, a baby is born.
To forgive and save us by His grace, a baby is born.
To take away our sins in His atoning death, a baby is born.
His grace, his light and love all in one baby Jesus.

To give us freedom in his truth, a baby is born.
To guide and instruct us in his light, a baby is born.
To make us a new creation in His resurrection, a baby is born.
To give us hope for heaven in his ascension, a baby is born
His grace, his light and love all in one baby Jesus.

there is hope for the world in Jesus Christ (H4WinJC.)

What is Love??

For what is love;

 

Is it not the mouth?

That sings praises to the Almighty,

That sings a joyful song to our hearts,

That tells the truth even when it is riskiest to do,

That speaks words of hope to the suffering souls,

Encourages us to go on in pursuing our purpose in life,

That speaks only after listening...

Is it not the arm?

That is lifted up in praise to the Lord,

That serves without complaining,

 That lifts away the road blocks in the journey of life by accepting us as we are,

Sweeps away the pain of the weak,

Rejoices in giving out than receiving,

Wipes our tears when we are in mourning...

Is it not the eye?

Sees the cry of the poor and heartbroken,

See our worth even where all seems lost,

Watches at night in prayer for us,

Sees our weaknesses and still goes ahead to accept us as we are,

Searches for the prodigal children and brings them back home,

Sees our problems and stores them in the heart rather than the mouth,

Sees us with compassion even where there is tension,

Is it not the ear?

That listens patiently to us in our good and tough moments,

That hears our cry even when we have not altered a word,

That is inclined to the words of the Lord as its source of hope,

That actively listens to the cry of the weak, the poor, the sick, the mourners and forsaken,

Is it not the foot;

That takes the good news to the lost and hopeless,

Runs to rescue others’ lives while the rest run for their own

That counts not the number of steps where duty calls,

That walks in truth, justice and faithfulness,

Kneels to pray while the rest point fingers,

Is it not the heart?

That is given up to God in total humility and surrender,

That is big enough for friends and enemies altogether in kindness,

That searches for the right path even when the rest settle for the wrong one,

that shows hope, goodness, care, concern and compassion however much it costs,

that continues to hold us tight even when we are seen as worthless and valueless,

that is not self centered but selfless...

Love is like medicine curing others for our sake,

Love is like a teacher who offers more than he gets,

Love is like a flower that brightens our emotions even when our eyes are filled with tears....

Love is more than love...
