God

"I AM the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I Am the God who is, The God who was, and the God about to arrive. I Am the Almighty. Don’t fear: I Am first, I Am last."

Revelation 1:8, 17 (MSG)

"EU SOU o Alfa e o Omega, ao Princípio e o Fim de todas as coisas, que tem todo o poder, e que é, que era, e que virá outra vez! Não tenhas medo! EU SOU, o Primeiro e o Último.”
Apocalipse 1:8, 17 (OL)

God

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6

While Jesus is God's Son and Mary's son, according to Isaiah's prophecy, he is also shared with us. Jesus is the child given to the world so you and I can become God's child. What greater gift can we have than Jesus, and through Jesus, God as our Father.

O loving Father, on a day so glorious, when the world pauses and acknowledges your gift of Jesus, all I can think to say is simply "Thank you!" Then I am reminded once again that all I have comes from him, because it is in his name, Jesus Christ, Immanuel, I pray. Amen.
