December 25, 2010

The old song says, “Go, tell it on the mountain!”
The gift of that baby boy so many years ago is the greatest gift the world has ever received.
Yet, we are afraid to talk about it.
Sometimes even among ourselves.
We are afraid to tell people.
Lord, we thank you for the gift of your son,
And we pray that we might learn how to tell others about this gift without fear,
Without doubt,
Without offense,
Without pre-judgment…at least from us.
We pray for opportunities to tell others about Christ when we will not be judged,
When we will not be taken with offense,
When we will not intuitively fear the way we will be received.
Help us to share your gift by telling others of the gift of your Son.
Amen.
