For Christ was born this day
\nAnd extended the most beautiful
\nGift to you and I<\/p>\n
It didn’t come wrapped
\nin pretty paper and bows
\nIt came wrapped in his blood
\nIn his sweat and in his tears<\/p>\n
On this day, when Jesus
\nKnocks on your door
\nWill you let him in
\nOr slam the door in his face<\/p>\n
I pray, you would open the door
\nEven if you already know him
\nNot because it’s right or proper
\nbut because you want him to come in<\/p>\n
I wish you all a very Merry Christmas
\nand happy new year<\/p>\n
Remember:<\/p>\n
If he knocks- Answer
\nIf he calls- Listen
\nIf he is silent- Seek him<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
