Till he appeared .........

An acclimation in "Oh Holy Night" says:
"Till he appeared and the soul found it's worth."

It begs the question "What do you find your worth in?"
Money?
Success?
Public stature?
Children?
Family?
Spouse?
Ownership?

Next question to answer is:
"Hows that working out for you?"

Has the above "satisfied the soul?" Or has it brought continuing happiness? Does it meet all your needs? Are you "made whole" by it? Does it give hope through the "dark times"? Can it "inspire" you to true greatness and then keep you there when you arrive? Are you "humbled" by it's presence or acquisition, or does its demands at time oppress you?

Do any of the above "free you" to be all that you can be?"
The expectation on anything to "give worth" is futile and at best an exercise in pride.

Only one thing can "give the soul worth" and that is God's Son Jesus Christ!
If we truly believe:
He will save us,
He will heal us,
He will provide for us,
He will protect us,
He will comfort us in our "dark times",
He will give us "good times",
He will be with us "all the time" even to the ends of the earth,
He is our only valid "hope",

He alone can give our "soul worth" because:
He designed us in His image and likeness,
He redeemed us from our sins,
He makes us complete body, soul and spirit,
He empowers us with His word,
And He will "manifest His glory" through us with signs and wonders that will make humanity bow on their knees and say "Jesus is Lord"!

He is eternal "worth" that the soul needs to find for wholeness.

Take a moment and think about what has been your "completing object of effort"?
No don't think maybe "pray" about that thought.
Consider it "before God." In your "closet."

If your soul has not found "its worth" at His appearing than confess it and repent, giving God and His Christ "place" so He can "heal" your troubled and wearied soul.

May you take time this "season" to embrace all His blessings and promises for in Him, to Him and through Him are all things.

God bless and keep as you grow in grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Amen

Love
