A Christmas Invitation to Grace

'A Gift of Freedom'

Give a gift of freedom, give a gift of grace,

Bring your heavy burdens, seek the Savior’s face. Psalm 27:8

Let go of all the anger, the bitterness, and hate,

For the Baby in the manger gives the gift of faith.

'A Place at the Table'

If you feel unloved, or strength begins to flee,

He welcomes every soul to His holy family.

For grace is all-sufficient, and love will never fail, 2 Corinthians 12:9

So bring your heart’s requests to the altar rail.

'The God of New Beginnings'

Give Him true forgiveness and give an honest heart,

In the deepest darkness, He knows just how to start.

He is the God of new beginnings, a second chance to glance,

When all life seems to shatter, He invites you to the dance. Ecclesiastes 3:4

'Peace in the Midnight Hour'

Give Him all your trouble, your agony and fear,

In the midnight hour, His presence lingers near.

Listen to the Spirit when you bow your head to pray,

His voice will sound like heaven as the clouds all fade away.

'The Key to the Maze'

Let Him walk beside you through the shadows of the night,

Holding fast your hand until the path is bathed in light.

He holds the special key that unlocks the heavy maze,

Breaking through the darkness and the thick and heavy haze. Isaiah 42:16

'Flames of Hope'

See the light is burning in the little Christmas lamps,

Flames of hope and freedom—these are Heaven’s stamps.

They send a holy message and teach us how to trust,

To weather every storm and survive the strongest gust.

'The Answer to the Call'

Give a gift of mercy to those you once despised,

In that gentle gesture, the truth is realized.

For this is the great message God sent to one and all:

We are forgiven and redeemed when we answer to His call. Ephesians 4:32

Christmas Reflection:

This season, the greatest gift you can offer is not found under a tree, but at the altar of Christ. Whether you are seeking a new beginning or the strength to forgive, the Gospel of Luke reminds us that the Savior was born to bring peace to every troubled heart. Turn your gaze toward the manger and let His light guide you home.

Luke 2:10-11: "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord,"
