Christmas

We’ve all heard the saying,
“Walk a mile in my shoes-“
Meaning live even just a moment
Of my life before you judge

Me, or anything I’ve done.

We all have experiences and
Trials, that are unique to us,
Feeling pain, fear, and everything
Else- wondering who could ever relate,

If there’s anyone who could understand.

One night, under a single star,
A virgin girl had a baby, and
Laid him to rest in a bed of hay, surrounded
by animals who were trying to eat-

The humblest beginning for a King.

The King grew from a child to a
Man, feeling and experiencing life, and
All of the pain and joy, grief and happiness,
Betrayal and friendship, love and loss

That comes with being alive.

The King from Heaven, the Son of God
Came and walked miles in our shoes,
Putting Him in the perfect place to judge.
But He didn’t. He wouldn’t.

Because He only came to love.
