Christmas Is A Love Story - A King and a Slave -
This Middle Eastern King from the past who
set the Love Standard for me was an awesome lover. Please
consider this parable of such a king and such a woman.
He was at least 12, a young but mature adult, looking for the
woman who would be his bride. One day when he was passing
through a poverty stricken part of one of the neighboring
kingdoms where many of his subjects lived, he came upon an
abandoned infant girl in the dirt, still in her birth blood, her
umbilical cord not yet cut, and apparently the daughter of
slaves. Many of his subjects had chosen to live there and in the
process had become slaves. Her dark skin color showed that
she was of the class that was lowly esteemed and thought
poorly of in that country, just because of the color of her skin
and the customs of her people.
He could see that she was a descendant of one of his family's
very old servants so he decided to commit himself to the well
being of this child. He commanded his attendants to make sure
that she lived and was cared for, though the daughter of slaves,
living among slaves.
Years passed. He was pleased each time he passed through her
region and saw how well Oholah was growing and developing
into a remarkable woman. He was profoundly concerned
about her though, since she still went about naked and bare as
was the custom of her people (like the original Aborigines,
Amazon Indians etc.) , and was still living in slavery.
Puberty did its magic and changed a remarkable little girl into
an awesome and desired woman, a woman with desries. Her
developing body and the passion it produced in her admirers
became a problem especially because she continued to live and
go about naked and bare, again the custom of her people. Men
in her area had the natural reaction to a naked and bare
beautiful woman and she let her body be used by some because
she thought that was love. Oholah was used and they didn't
love her, but it was the only love she knew firsthand. She felt it
was better than what she had before she had such love. From
her ancestors she had heard stories of deliverance, promises of
better things, compassion and cherishing. It was all far away
and unreal, like fantasy dreams.
When he knew that she was old enough to marry, he visited her
area again and saw her now physically ready for marriage.
Even though he was now older, he was still moved by
compassion, love, passion, need and desire as he looked upon
her and remembered his family's promises to her ancestor of
old. Carefully, quietly and gently he approached her and she
recognized him as the one who had saved her life soon after she
had been born. She had heard so much about him that seemed
so hard to believe and then he was there approaching her. He
spoke to her gently but powerfully and decisively and offered
her the deliverance, the better things, the compassion and
cherishing she had heard about. She wanted him and all he said
to be real. She was so amazed and awestruck by it all. It all
seemed like a dream.

For God, the Father in Heaven who is a consuming fire, so unselfishly and compassionately loved humans that He sent His only Son who was miraculously born of Mary to meet the requirements of justice and die in our place to take on Himself the judgment we deserve for our sins, so that if we believe Him and rely on Him to make us right with Father and save us from all that makes us incompatible with Father, He makes us compatible with Father so we can live with Him forever in His Love, liberating Truth, enlightening Light and everlasting Life.
PLEASE PRAY FOR PALIN, HUCKABEE, HANNITY AND BECK
