“See, I am sending my messenger to prepare the way before me, and the Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to His temple.” Malachi 3:1

Dear Lord of Hosts,

Thank You for loving us so much that You will lower Yourself to a man, be humbly born with animals in a barn to a girl who fully possessed Your heart in order to keep You in her womb, and then escape with her and Joseph to Egypt to avoid death.

Thank You for loving us so much to come down from heaven to this broken world to save us, to be the blood sacrifice for anyone who calls on Your name, for worthy is the lamb.

Holy, Holy, Holy, Emmanuel; God is with us. Praise the Father, praise the Son, praise the Spirit; the King of kings born in Bethlehem.

Amen.
