“Mom, did God carry Jesus on his back?” This question comes from Abby, because that’s what one des with a baby, of course. A miracle so profound that we can only gaze in wonder when we stop to reflect. It doesn’t make sense. God becoming flesh to come and take our punishment for us. Thanks be to God! To quote Ann Voskamp from aholyexperience.com:
“Who will give away, and with their lives? Why is the world hungry when God’s people have bread? Are bread? What is there more to be in this life than to be bread for another man?“
I find comfort in these words. Niger often feels like a sponge of need. No matter how much I give it will never be enough. Only Christ working through me can bring change and true healing. I know that I’m not the only one feeling dry, empty, like I never have enough to offer. May we be filled as only the Spirit can fill us so that we can be poured out for a thirsty, hungry, hurting world. Merry Christmas!
