The Blessing of One born and Given

I bless you with

The prophet’s words

Made personal:

“Unto you a child is born,

To you a son is given.”  (Isaiah 9:6)

Born.

In the ordinary way,

Like every child.

Born.

Because Jesus is human.

Given.

In a supernatural way,

Unlike any child.

Given.

Because Jesus is divine.

May you know Him always

As both—

Born like you so He forever

Understands you.

Given unto you so He forever

Transcends you.

Born as a child of Mary

To be your brother.

Given as The Son of God

To be your Savior.

Born and given,

Unto you, heir of God,

He’s born and given.
