His Love

It's not in what we give
or in what we receive.
It's not in money spent
but rather what we believe.

It's not found in a store
or from shopping online.
It's something else completely
that makes this season divine.

It's something that brings joy.
It's something that brings peace.
Something so wonderful
that it's truly a masterpiece.

We can feel it all around us
and see it in the air.
When we know the true meaning
no Earthly thing can compare.

So don't get lost in the crowd
and all the commercial things,
but rather get lost it Him
in our King of Kings.

All throughout the year
and not just in December
it is in Him and His love
that we should always remember.

As you spend time with family
and visit with old friends
feel His love around you
and from you let it extend.
