The Word became flesh and lived among us.
—John 1.14
We come near to see
how near God comes.
Reaching out,
it is we who are held.
Taking in such love,
we ourselves are radiant.
Honoring the mother and child,
something in us is born.
Leaning in to look, how can we not
always lean toward the holy?
Allowing ourselves to be drawn
close to such loveliness,
we can’t help but love.
This is our salvation.
Behold this mystery:
even on a rough night
this peace that cradles us,
this love that loves us,
this tenderness
that comes upon us.
Deep Christmas Blessings,
Pastor Steve
