Today is a celebration of your birth and
there is reason to celebrate if we can
for you are the key to the reality of
goodness in our lives and without you
we would be lost and abandoned.
We need you in our lives and pray that
we can keep that thought foremost in our minds.
Everything we do is by your grace.
Without you, nothing will be done
of any consequence in respect to our salvation.
We have much to learn about your prophets and
the miracles you performed through them.
Those teaching us have much to learn and
they can only base their knowledge on
what they have learned about you from
the notes we have on your brief period
of life on this earth. We pray that you will
deepen our faith in you by the delivery of
your words and works by men who have
studied them and who remain in awe of you
and humble in the knowledge that you are
the one and no one of us is as important as you.
Our records look sad for the most part
in a world that we have cluttered with
our selfish needs to have more and more
at the expense of your loved ones who
must endure with less. We need constant
reminders of why we are here and must be in prayer,
thanking you for the gift of life and asking for
forgiveness for our evil ways which caused
you to give up your life for us and our sins.
You are the only gift that really matters to this day.
