Christmas Eve

What a week it's been leading up to this night. Family is here, but they have been sick and the power to our home has been very far from reliable. Thankfully it's fairly warm outside still.

I've received the first comments and suggestions from my editor who's reviewing my book. Ouch. You really do need thick skin for this process. But I've also received the first two reviews by some Brothers in the Lord of the work as well.

I'm in awe of the first reports which include news that some Brothers in the Lord have been ministered to using this work already. What an amazing thing that is to hear. There are a couple of people who I couldn't have personally ministered to through something I've written. I'm flabbergasted by that.

And the Lord has given me a sign showing the seed of something He's doing in my life.

It's been a big week but tonight I hope to set everything aside to quiet my heart and worship the One who was willing to step out of the Glory of Heaven to come dwell here on the Earth as a flesh and blood man. So that He could demonstrate His worthiness and actually pay the price that is demanded for the sinful life that I have lead.

If you ever wonder why Christians WORSHIP God realize that GOD Himself took on our guilt as though it was His own and died for it. Yes He took on your guilt too. And if you'll just repent to trust Him then He will save you based on the payment for your sin that He made. And you'll join all the other Christians in living in new life because God didn't just die on the Cross. Since the payment was paid in full He came back to life. And if He lives, then those who are saved in Him will also live.

Because He came lived and died, was buried and lived again to pay the price for my sin, and to secure eternal life for me, I worship Him. And tonight I hope to do that quietly.
