Freda's Garden:

Welcome to my Garden

Today's poem was taken from today's "Jesus Calling."

I BECAME POOR SO YOU COULD BECOME RICH

I became poor so you could become rich,
Rich in my love
Rich in family and friends
Rich in blessings from above.

I became poor so you could become rich
I left heavenly glory to become a man
It is beyond your reasoning,
Hard for you to understand.

I became poor so you could become rich
I gave up My throne
To become a helpless baby,
With no worldly goods, no home.

I became poor so you could become rich
That stable was not a lovely sight
I gave up all to claim you as My own
That first Christmas night.
