Christmas in my Heart

Merry Christmas2010-12-18 23:10When Jesus came into my heart,
　　
　　it was like a Christmas morning.
　　
　　He came to my heart because
　　
　　there was no room for Him in my intellect.
　　
　　My heart was a poor place, like the stable in Bethlehem.
　　
　　It was not a clean place, but the home of lowliness
　　
　　and impurity, full of filth and animal instinct.
　　
　　But the angels came there
　　
　　and God stooped low to enter also.
　　
　　His radiance seemed to illuminate
　　
　　the dirt and dung that littered my heart.
　　
　　And I felt guilt and shame.
　　
　　But then His righteousness, like new fallen snow, covered the ugliness and brought light, joy, and freshness to my soul.
　　
　　Jesus came into my heart and there was a new birth,
　　
　　a Christmas event.
　　
　　I was re-born and all things changed!
　　
　　
　　Now I live in Christ and He in me.
　　
　　I am a new creation in Him.
　　
　　The old man still lurks within,
　　
　　 but Christ overcomes all!
　　
　　When it wasChristmas in my heart,
　　
　　Light came to a very dark place;
　　
　　Beauty came to an ugly place;
　　
　　Joy came to a place of despair and regret;
　　
　　Peace came to a place of anxiety and fear;
　　
　　And love came softly and gently
　　
　　 to replace selfishness andself-interest.
　　
　　And now He is newevery morning.
　　
　　Day by day Iexperience His love anew.
　　
　　Christmas comes to my heart each morning.
　　
　　And my heart overflows in thankfulness.
