Immanuel...


All this took place to fulfil what the Lord had said through the prophet: "The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel" - which means, "God with us." - Matthew 1:22-23

You promise to be with me
To pursue me
Despite my sinfulness
Increase my confidence and trust in accepting Your desire for me

You are ever-present, even in trials
You watch over me
I cannot shine without Your grace
Show me where and how You are working in my midst

You chose me to bear Your image
You live in me
Even though I make You look bad
Show me how to be a better example of Your love
