This scene used to mean something wholly different to me.
Here we are right in the middle of the Christmas season again. I see the decorations and trees and hearing the carols and I sigh a sad sigh filled with pain. Instead of smiles and merriment like so many who have bought into the this world's rabble, I am sad when I think about all of the things we have been told that are not true-- but more so, all of the things we BELIEVE that are not true. Or are half true. Or outright lies.
How long, YHWH, until we can all know the Truth and see you? After the events of the last several weeks, my heart knows, without a doubt, that this world is not my home. I long to be in Your Presence, Sweet Savior. I long to rest at your feet and serve and worship you with whole being. I long to see the new heavens and the new earth and to see your feet standing on Mt. Zion, all things made new and right and just and whole on that great and terrible day of judgement. I praise you, YHWH.
Blessed are you, oh YHWH our GOD, King of the universe, who has made us holy in Yahshua the Messiah, the Light of this world.
Baruch atah YHWH, Elohenu Melech ha olam, asher kidshanu b'Yah'shua ha Mashiach, or ha olam.
