Matthew 1:24 When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife.***************************************
What is love? We read a lot in the Bible of God's love as our Heavenly Father. We don't know very much about Joseph, Mary's husband. Surely he, too, was chosen by God to come along side Mary and help shepherd Jesus in His young years. I truly believe he loved Mary and Jesus.
As I have read the Christmas story again this year, I have been impressed with Joseph. In Matthew 1 we can tell that he was a righteous man. He cared about doing the right thing in people's eyes, but he also did not want to bring any disgrace upon Mary.
Songwriter, Michael Card, has written a song called "Joseph's Song."
How could it be this baby in my arms
Sleeping now, so peacefully
The Son of God, the angel said
How could it be
Lord I know He's not my own
Not of my flesh, not of my bone
Still Father let this baby be
The son of my love

Ps 103: 13 As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him.
