Faith, Hope, Love. And the greatest of these is Love.

Christmas Magic - a magic performance organized by my church.

Reminds me of the purpose of Christmas, which is so easily forgotten these days – it is to celebrate the birth of a Saviour, the Son of God, Jesus Christ.

He is the reason for Christmas.

It is a season of faith, hope and love.

As I was reminded of these, thought of this loving song, which never fails to touch my heart.

 

We are the reason

As little children we would dream of Christmas morn
And all the gifts and toys we knew we'd find
But we never realized a baby born one blessed night
Gave us the greatest gift of our lives

And we were the reason that He gave His life
We were the reason that He suffered and died
To a world that was lost He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live

As the years went by we learned more about gifts
And giving of ourselves and what that means
On a dark and cloudy day a man hung crying
in the rain
Because of love, because of love

And we are the reason that He gave His life
We are the reason that He suffered and died
To a world that was lost He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live

I finally found the reason for living
It's in giving every part of my heart to Him
In all that I do every word that I say
I'll be giving my all just for Him
For Him

And we are the reason that He gave His life
We are the reason that He suffered and died
To a world that was lost He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live
He is my reason to live

Father God, help us always remember this reason for Christmas.

Amen.
