Tonight
was amazing. I had the opportunity to spend time with awesome kids
at the 8pm Christmas Eve service, and then had an awesome time
attending the 11pm service with two of my favorite people.
Such
a blessing :)
But,
after I finished working with the kids at the 8, I had a bit of time
to myself. I spent it reading through some psalms, and then felt the
need to write something. During this season, we remember the birth
of our Savior, and an overwhelming feeling of thanks came over me.
So, in my journal, I wrote this letter to God with everything that is
on my heart.
So,
that's my blog for Christmas Eve, just these thoughts to God from my
journal...
In
Christ,
Lilia
------------------------------
Lord,
you have so protected my heart. Too many times, I've let it fall to
pieces everywhere but in Your hands – the only place that it could
ever be whole. Thank you for keeping me in Your way and for
reminding me that You are always after my joy.
You
are no stranger to struggle, or pain, but You are love, embodied, and
in that I find the deepest satisfaction possible. Help me to love
You more everyday and to find the fullness of my worth in You. You
have brought me through the thick of it all, into your light, and for
Your glory.
The
fractured heart I laid before You is now stitched together with Your
compassion, mercy, and grace. You are the lifeline that enables it
to beat; the rhythm reminds me that life is fragile, but that You are
so good for giving me the gift of living.
You
laid down Your life that I may live, that we all may live.
Thank
you.
And,
now, we celebrate Your birth – the beginning of Your earthly plan
for your son, the most sacred sacrifice. Let our worship be pleasing,
and may our actions be the same, as we celebrate who you are, holy and
perfect.
Thank
you for teaching me what it means to live life intentionally, knowing
that Your purpose is always for our good. Thank you for your glory.
Love
you forever,
Lilia
