A Gift for You That Will Make You Rich

Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you;

he is the Messiah, the Lord.

This will be a sign to you:

You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger. 

Luke 2:11-12

Let the stable still astonish

Straw — dirt floor, dull eyes

Dusty flanks of donkeys, oxen;

Crumbling, crooked walls;

No bed to carry that pain

And then, the child,

Rag-wrapped, laid to cry

In a trough.

Who would have chosen this?

Who would have said “Yes,”

“Let the God of all the heavens

And earth

Be born here, in this place”?

Who but the same God

Who stands in the darker, fouler rooms

of our hearts

and says “Yes,”

“Let the God of Heaven and Earth

be born here –

in this place.”

You know the generous grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that by his poverty he could make you rich. 

2 Corinthians 8:9

Sharing with you the wonder of the miracle . . . the gift of the Lord born in our dark hearts.  It's our own rags to riches story.
