Jesus, I confess that you are not only the
most important person in history, but you are the Creator and
Savior of the world. Lord Jesus, I need you. I
have done wrong. Please forgive me of my sins and come
into my life. I ask you not just to be part of my life,
but to guide me to live according to the words I read in the
Bible. Thank you for your mercy and forgiveness. I
am now committed to be your follower. Amen.
Jesus, the Light of the World
Jesus, the Light of the World, as we celebrate
your birth may we begin to see the
world in the light of
the understanding you give us. As you chose the lowly, the
outcasts,
and the poor to receive the greatest news the
world had ever known, so may we worship
you in meekness of
heart. May we also remember our brothers and sisters less
fortunate than ourselves in this season of giving.
Amen.

The Christmas Spirit
I enter the home of poverty,
causing
pale-faced children to open their
eyes wide in pleased
wonder.
I cause the miser's clutched hand to
relax,
and thus paint a bright spot on his soul.
I cause the aged to renew their youth
and
to laugh in the glad old way.
I keep romance alive in the heart of
childhood,
and brighten sleep with dreams woven of
magic.
I cause eager feet to climb dark
stairways
with filled baskets, leaving behind
hearts
amazed at the goodness of the world.
I cause the prodigal to pause a moment on his
wild,
wasteful way, and send to anxious love some little
token
that releases glad tears -
tears which wash away
the hard lines of sorrow.
I enter dark prison cells,
reminding
scarred manhood of what might have been,
and pointing
forward to good days yet to come.
I come softly into the still, white home of
pain,
and lips that are too weak to speak
just tremble
in silent, eloquent gratitude.
In a thousand ways
I cause the weary world
to look up into the face of God
and for a little moment
forget the things that are small and wretched.
I am the Christmas Spirit!
