Do you HEAR?
Do you SEE?
Do you KNOW?
I used to think that I HEARD, SAW, & KNEW
but what I thought I HEARD, SAW, & KNEW
was in my head.
So I went through the motions
BELIEVING that what I HEARD, SAW, & KNEW
was true,
but in a true way like I BELIEVE that George Washington was the first president.
I HEARD that JESUS was born on CHRISTMAS DAY
and even SAW JESUS on the cross at church.
I KNEW JESUS was GOD'S SON.
And then CHRISTMAS started to lose it's sparkle
as I grew older and then when my children grew older.
Something was missing
and it was because
THE BABY was missing.
JESUS isn't just a story.
GOD has such a way of getting your attention
so that you really HEAR & SEE & KNOW HIM.
As HE found me in the quicksand that was slowly taking me down
because I was missing the power
to get me to stand.
Then I looked up and there HE was,
because HE was always there,
but I never stopped long enough
to really
HEAR HIM
to really
SEE HIM
to really
KNOW HIM.
CHRISTMAS may be just a season,
but JESUS is not season
as HE is the MISSING PEACE.
So when I look at
THE BABY in my nativity,
that I don't pack away after CHRISTMAS
because I need to
HEAR & SEE & KNOW HIM
every second of every day of every season
because
THIS BABY was born
to SAVE my life
to SAVE your life
to SAVE everyone's life.
Do you HEAR HIM?
Do you SEE HIM?
Do you KNOW HIM?
Please answer
YES & YES & YES
and then you will never pack CHRISTMAS away for next year
because you can't pack away
THE BABY
once HE fills your heart.
So I ask you again
"DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR" (listen to the song below)
