"Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea
In the days of Herod, the king,
Behold there came wise men from the east..."
The Bible does not count the wise men,
But we do.
Why?
Are we so determine to quantify the world
That we fail to know the quality of our surroundings?
Is a person's worth counted in dollars or
How well they serve others?
We look to a person's wealth
To define their character.
God looks to how a person treats
The least among us.
My prayer at Advent must be
We look to a person's wealth
To define their character.
God looks to how a person treats
The least among us.
My prayer at Advent must be
"Lord, make me a servant in your image,
today, tomorrow and forever."
The wise men did bring three gifts:
"Gold, and frankincense,
And myrrh."
As Christmas comes,
Let me offer gifts to God:
Love,
Faith,
And Humility.
