Though she loved him, he loved her more. She didn’t know in that moment of joy; He came to die. He came to save her and the entire sin sick world. In time, she would realize just how much he adored her as he would ask John to care for her as he agonized upon the cross.
But in this precious moment surrounded by only the lowly animals of the stable, she wished never to forget the little hands…the tiny feet, the bright star in the clear night sky, and the wonderment painted on Joseph’s face. Her hands trembled as she feared to touch the Holy Child…her son…Jesus. She took hold of the King of the Most High…pulled him close…cheek to cheek, and began to cry.
“I love you.” She whispered softly.
The babe’s heart beat a lullaby of peace to her anxious soul. And there that beautiful night when the horn of salvation resounded in an infant’s cry, Mary treasured the moment and would forever ponder all this that was given her.

Will you take hold of the King of the Most High this Christmas?
Will you dare to pull him close, cry a loud, and say…
“I love you Jesus!”
Sit quietly long enough to hear his heart beat a lullaby of peace to you.
Remember…
Treasure…
Ponder as Mary did so long ago…
Christ was born to die…
For you!
That just how much he loves you!

so very beautiful.
May I take a moment to say how blessed I have been this year by your blog posts?
The touch the deep place in my heart and cause my heart to worship and adore Him.
I wish you a very Merry Christmas.
May the Lord come again in your heart and take you deeper into Him.
All of your readers will then continue to be blessed as you share what he tells you in the Secret place.
With love from Marty in New Zealand.
