Did you find HIM, or did you let
present circumstances crowd Him out?
He was looking for YOU you know,
when He came so long ago
to that tiny manger in Bethlehem.
He was looking for you when the Star
shown so brightly in the sky
leading the wise men to the place where He lay-
drawing them oh so nigh.
He was looking for you, when the Heavenly Choir of Angels burst into the open with
rapturous and melodious song sent to
bring Good News to inspire.
He was looking for you, when at age twelve
in the temple He questioned the rabbi's and into the Word, making them delve.
In a carpenters shop He would work and sing
Crafting wood into useful things. With skillful hands and eye bringing out the beauty that deep within the wood did lie. Full of pitch and claimed to be no good, in these pieces their grace and beauty He would find...All the while, YOU were on His mind!
When He turned the water into wine
at the wedding, He was saying, "You will find,
that the end will be sweeter than the start, so do not fear..." for He is here with you, just look for Him and see...but you must look with your heart.
When the widow's son, the one from Nain.
was in a coffin prematurely lain-
He was there, to mend her broken heart
bring life into a hopeless situation, and
give a brand new start.
HE is here with you now-
will you open up and allow
Him to wipe away your tears, fears and pain,
to bring you life and hope again?
When He washed their feet in
that upper room,
He knew that very soon
one of those He loved,
would be shoved by things
left unchecked and so
his life would be wrecked, and yet
He loved him to the end.
As He faced His accusers and abusers, manipulators and instigators, He
looked with eyes that saw you and me,
down through the portals of eternity,
knowing that we were both at once to blame and also the ones who had been put to shame...
and yet HE came all the same!
Looking for me and YOU.
39 lashes and His blood ran RED, and
each drop said, "I LOVE YOU."
39 lashes-intense pain, and
His blood proclaimed,
"your sickness I bore,
so it can have dominion no more."
And HE was looking for you.
A walk up a long, lonely hill, with
humanity jeering and scoffing still
His heart set on Eternity, He had vowed to His Father not mine, but Thy Will,
and He looked for you.
Death sentence given, nails driven,
More Blood, for me and you shed.
A crown of thorns upon His Head...
Hung betwixt and between two worlds
with only one seen, and He cried
"It is finished," before He died, all the while Looking at the Joy set before Him...
He was looking for YOU.
This Christmas He came,
to a world not very tame,
laying in ruins of its own
making and shame.
He came looking for YOU.
He comes again and again,
with Love in His eyes, and Light
to send all the darkness packing,
to ease the pain that's wracking
bodies stressed and strained.
He comes looking for You.
He comes calling YOUR name.
Life with Christ will never be the same.
There is so much to lose, and a lot to gain!
Let go of your past- failures or not,
receive a Life that cannot be bought.
Success is empty when you lose in the end, Eternity without family, health, peace and friend.
Don't miss Him like those who looked
in all the wrong places and faces and things,
expecting a Palace and earthly King,
instead of The Lord, Master of the
Universe and Ruler over everything!
He's looking for YOU
to look and see...
Yes, HE IS EVERYTHING,
but maybe not what or how
You thought He would be!
Jeremiah 29:13 Then you will seek Me, inquire for, and require Me [as a vital necessity] and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. And you will be searching for me and I will be there, when you have gone after me with all your heart. (Amplified and BBE)
