The Seven Poverty's of Christmas Day Seventeen

THE SEVEN POVERTY’S OF CHRISTMAS ~ Day 17 
Doing Life In A Manger Place

Twas the day before Christmas and all through the earth, the angels were happy about the pending New Birth! Their week in the world below heaven was almost over. Gladness was mixed with sadness as they knew joy was always one step away from sorrow. In the blink of an eye, life could be turned upside down.

Although the Christmas season had been commercially expanded, the reason for the season seem to be getting more lost in the money. That’s where folks on earth were finding their value these days. People ignored the fact that money can’t buy love and it’s useless against loneliness. Still, they persisted in using money as a fake healer.

On this 24th day of December, the angels had 24 hours to visit both the Place of Gladness and the Place of Sadness. Despite the opposite nature of their names, these places existed side by side. Old folks who knew Wisdom, were given the ability to look back on the journey of their lives and see how they’d traveled frequently between both places.

The angels were energized at being able to lay out a plan for the people called: “Doing Life In A Manger Place.” It would be easy for Wisdom to gather all the people on earth and teach them a lesson all at once. That’s what a teacher does in a classroom, but the Lesson of Wisdom is only learned through Life. The angels had to utilize Life Lessons to reach both the Teachable and Unteachable. Their is a Final Place of Sadness for Unteachable folks.

A Manger Place is small and tucked away in a Humble Heart. The Manger is a Birthplace and Beliefplace. The structure contains beams of gladness held by nails of sadness. Within its walls are sounds of travail and the silence of unspeakable joy. 

All things are birthed together for good in the Beliefplace. The Manger has Food for Thought bought with Poverty Money. The Value of Little becomes Greater in the Manger. All creatures Great and Small, there’s Room in the Manger for folks who answer Wisdom’s Call. 

The manger is a place for the tired and poor to Receive Refreshment. The manger is a door to a Peace that Surpasses All Understanding. Some who pass this way may never leave and go back the way they came. Heaven lies beyond the Manger Door.

Gladness or Sadness, they both shall pass, Tis better to live Life in a Manger Place. The Landlord is your Savior who will never reject you or abandon you. The life you live was chosen for you and influenced by the choices you make. 

The Landlord of the world knew you before you were born. His journey for you is unique. You are Specially Chosen, Highly Valued and Deemed Worthy to carry Beams of Gladness with Nails of Sadness. The sun only rises after darkness has befallen the world. The Son has risen in the Manger Place to redeem a fallen world. 

Live your Life in the Manger Place and let the Son rise within you. Joy to the world your Savior’s here! Joy to the world it’s freedom you hear! Start over again. Be born again. So be it, just believe it and say Amen!

“And if I were to be so generous 
as to give away everything I owned 
to feed the poor, 
and to offer my body 
to be burned as a martyr, 
without the pure motive of love, 
I would gain nothing of value. 
Love is large and incredibly patient. 
Love is gentle and consistently kind to all. 
It refuses to be jealous 
when blessing comes to someone else. 
Love does not brag 
about one’s achievements 
nor inflate its own importance. 
Love does not traffic 
in shame and disrespect, 
nor selfishly seek its own honor. 
Love is not easily irritated 
or quick to take offense. 
Love joyfully celebrates honesty 
and finds no delight in what is wrong. 
Love is a safe place of shelter, 
for it never stops 
believing the best for others. 
Love never takes failure as defeat, 
for it never gives up.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭13:3-7‬ ‭TPT‬‬
