Christmas Sunday! What a blessed day it was as we celebrated the birth of the newborn King in worship and song! But now, it is the day after and we look ahead to the New Year, if Jesus tarries.
We don't know about tomorrow, but we can know, personally, the One who holds all our tomorrows in His hand! Praise the Lord!
I wouldn't want to be without Jesus as we prepare to enter a new year, and I trust that God will minister to your heart as you meditate on the words of this poem, entitled, "But You," from Ruth Bell Graham's collection of poems.
"It isn't your gold or silver, your talents great or small,
your voice, or your gift of drawing, or the crowd you go with at all;
It isn't your friends or pastimes, your looks or your clothes so gay;
It isn't your home or family, or even the things that you say;
It isn't your choice of amusements, it isn't the life you lead,
it isn't the thing you prize the most, or the books you like to read;
No, it isn't the things you have, dear, or the things you like to do,
the Master is searching deeper --- He seeks not yours, but You!"
