A baby is born, he is crying in the manger. It is not a cry
of fear, but one of life and life in abundance. Christ is born so that the poor
may be exalted and the proud may be humbled, he is born for you and me, outside
an inn he is born. We may not hear the cry because it is not harmonized to
our liking. We may not see the baby because we are used to looking inside
swanky buildings and not stench filled streets. Christmas is here and Christ is
born.
Loving God, allow us to close our eyes and listen to the cry of the baby and be inspired to be what Jesus stands for on earth and in heaven. Jesus, hold our hand and walk us through places we avoid and allow us to feel your birth in every step we take and in everything we see. Holy Spirit, help us overcome the fear of the unknown and as we be a part of the service of nativity may our sins be absolved as we try to reach out, smile, help and be with those around us. Amen.
