Where are you, Lord Jesus? Is seeing your face as simple as gazing down into a manger’s hay? Is there a deserted stable somewhere, aglow with your Presence? Might I join a band of magi and follow a star to you? Might I keep watch with simple shepherds and bear the good news from Gabriel’s own luminous lips?
Give me strength to follow, 364 days, whatever star might lead me to you on the 365th. That some day I might behold, unsquinting, the radiance of your Glory in a season that will be forever.
~Michael Card, from The Promise, Introduction
Christmas happens everywhere every time someone reaches out to touch another life with love.
