Christmas is God’s quiet arrival into ordinary lives. In a humble place, hope took on flesh, and light stepped into our darkness. The manger tells us we don’t have to be impressive to be welcomed, only willing to come and see.
The shepherds hurried, Mary pondered, Joseph trusted. Each response is an invitation for us today: draw near, treasure the mystery, and walk forward in faith. Emmanuel—God with us—means we are never alone, not in our silence, our questions, or our celebrations.
Let the love of Christ find room in you again—room for peace where anxiety lives, room for compassion where indifference has settled, room for joy that’s deeper than circumstance. May His presence be your warmth and your wonder this season as you let God find a home in your heart.
