 “…We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”  Matthew 2:2b (NIV)

What is it about the Christmas season that makes all adults begin to act like children?  It just began to snow outside, and I could hear my coworkers squealing with joy at the first snow of the season.  As adults, we remember the excitement, suspense, guessing games, wonder and joy of Christmas that we experienced as a child.

Instead of looking at Christmas through the eyes of an adult, the long lines, the bills, the traffic, the busyness trying looking at it through the eyes of a child.  For seen through the eyes of a child it is pure wonder and joy at the first glimpse of Christmas lights, the carols we sing, and the cookies we can taste.

Is it possible for us as adults to come as children to the Christ of Christmas?  Yes, we can come to the manger as we bow down to worship the newborn King, to the Cross and to the empty tomb of our Savior and Risen Lord.  We need to come as children eager to learn, eager to laugh, eager to live, eager to serve, and eager to love.

“Lord, please never let me lose the wonder of a child at Christmas.  Renew within me the simplicity and purity of a childlike love and faith in You.  May I come to worship you with adoration this Christmas.  Remind me that I am Your child both now and for eternity.”

For His Glory
