i started listening to Christmas music two days ago.
who am i?
never in the history of my life have i voluntarily listened to Christmas music before my beloved Thanksgiving.
for some reason this season, my heart could not contain my excitement to celebrate the birth of the Savior.
all i wanted to do was sing the beautiful songs that rejoice in the truth of the glory of that day.
so i indulged.
and i found my heart content, satisfied and feeling oh so right.
and then i thought about how much truth these songs are filled with. and i thought about all of the people who sing them.
how ironic is it that so many people sing about the coming of the King, yet they don't know Him.
and then my heart grew heavy for those who don't understand the glory, the hope and the beauty that Christmas brings.
and now, i pray for them.
that somehow, they would hear themselves proclaiming Jesus as King.
that somehow, they would question it.
that the Spirit would move.
and that they would understand the weight of the words that they sing.
