thoughts on Christmas

o come o come, Emmanuel,
and ransom captive israel
who mourns in lonely exile here
until the Son of God appears.

stop regarding man, whose breath of life is in his nostrils; for why should he be esteemed?
- isaiah 2:22

a thrill of hope. a weary world rejoices.

there’s absolutely no reason why we should even have a taste of the real and pure Love that was given to us.
but i’m so grateful that God chose to love me.
and show me.
in a physical and tangible way.
even though i can’t bear to watch or see.
God loved me.
God loves me.
God is loving me.

joy to the world! the Lord is come!
rejoice! rejoice! Emmanuel has come to thee, o israel.

glory to God. forever

The LORD of hosts will prepare a lavish banquet for all peoples on this mountain; a banquet of aged wine, choice pieces with marrow, and refined, aged wine. And on this mountain He will swallow up the covering which is over all peoples, even the veil which is stretched over all nations. He will swallow up death for all time, and the Lord GOD will wipe tears away from all faces, and He will remove the reproach of His people from all the earth; for the LORD has spoken. And it will be said in that day, “Behold, this is our God for whom we have waited that He might save us this is the LORD for whom we have waited; let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation.”
- Isaiah 35:6-9
