The Gift Part 2

The Gift, Part 2

Shared by Margie Johnson

If only once-a-year, or two,

Or maybe once-a-week,

We acknowledge that Jesus Christ the Lord

Is real, but for whom we’ve no need…

Then we’ll not understand God’s salvation plan,

To bring us under His wings.

We’ll still be a slave, to sin and the grave…

And death will still have its sting.

God never intended we simply agree

That Jesus is kind and good.

It’s flowers God seeks and call to Himself;

Those whose heart find His Word to be true.

Isaiah 9:6-7

6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders.  And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 

7 Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end.  He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever.  The zeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this.
