The story of Christmas grew and changed
Going from selfless to selfish.
Turned wrong side up,
Forgetting what it is really about.
Why we celebrate in the first place.
What Christmas is really about.
The ultimate gift of God
Giving himself.
The most selfless of acts,
Stepping into the world
Becoming one of us,
Getting to know us
In a intimate way
Because of his love for us,
His desire to rescue us,
To know us and be a part of our lives.
Present,
Fully present with us.
So, should we be with those around us.
Not just a gift wrapped up
In colored paper and bows,
But we need to give of ourselves,
Our time and our presence.
To come into their world
And show that they are worth
So much more than what
Sits under the tree.
That they are so loved
Not just by us,
But by the God that stepped down
Took on flesh,
Gave himself up for us
Because he loved us so much
He wanted to save us.
So, that we could be with him
Forevermore.
Changing the world,
One heart and one selfless act
At a time,
Being Christmas to each and every
Person
Not just during this time of the year,
But all year long.
BE CHRISTMAS POEM
