Rejoice in the Beloved always;
again I will say, Rejoice.
Let your gentleness be known to everyone.
The Beloved is near.
—Philippians 4.4-5
The Beloved is not near in the future,
but near to your heart, now.
The Beloved, born into danger and conflict,
dead and raised from all meanness,
has your back. Guards your joy.
And shows you the way.
Dare to be gentle in a rough world.
In such a manger the child comes.
