Christmas Gem

Spending hours shopping for gifts.
Stores open every shift.
Buying presents and gifts galore.
Always wanting more and more.
The stress of the season in every place.
Worry and doubt fill your face.
Spending your time and every dime,
Waiting in all those lines.
While pain and anguish fill your life.
You can barely sleep at night.
Your insides are shaking.
Your heart is breaking.
While all along Jesus is there,
Longing for you to care.
He wants you to remember,
He is the reason,
For this Christmas season.
He wants you to know,
This is his show, and you need to step back,
And let it go.
It is all about him.
The birth of Christ.
He wants to take over your life.
It is not about the gifts you give.
It’s not about where you live.
It is all about the one who died,
So that we could all survive.
It is all about the baby boy.
Born in a manger full of joy.
It is all about spending time with him,
And becoming strong and filled within.
The more you pray, the more he’ll stay,
Closer by your side each day.
Christmas is all about Christ.
It is not about, your own life.
Take a step away, kneel and pray,
And begin to thank him, for each day.
You will soon realize.
Jesus is the only prize.
It is all about him.
He is our one and only Christmas gem.
