 Brighter than the stars are the angels, not only in heaven above, but unseen by us, adoring this holy, their Creator, lying in that rough manger-cradle.

He has never shown such love for those shining angels, bright sinless angels, as for us.

How we must love Him if we have hearts at all wherewith to love!

, I thank Thee for coming thus. Great, how Thou hast humbled Thyself! It seems too much, too wonderful, but I know that it is true.

Nothing is too wonderful for Thy great, Thy everlasting love.

For love of Thee I will be humble. Take away my pride and my self-will.

, I thank thee and bless thee for loving so nobly, so purely, so humbly, that He gave His dear Son to us through thee. Pray to that, that I may have grace to learn of Him and thee to be meek and humble of heart.
