You will conceive and give birth to a son,
and you are to call Him Jesus.
He will be great and will be called
the Son of the Most High
(Lk 1:31-32a).
The life she felt forming inside her was Life itself.
What began as a flutter became the graceful movement of Hope;
A slow turning, then a kick—the confined dance of Love.
A Babe, conceived of the Spirit;
Promised and prepared of God;
Swelled to the fullness of Eternity’s plan.
Impressions of the Child’s limbs gradually appeared from within:
A head . . . a knee . . . an elbow;
God—in human flesh—soon to enter His Creation as Babe . . .
As Man.
God became flesh to be with His people;
All glory, wrapped in human tent;
Born into humanity’s mess by grace.
His cry, a prayer, for His Father to comfort the world.
The Babe prepared was:
Born a King;
Born a Savior;
Born crucified.
To us a Child was born;
To us a Son was given;
Who longs to be born in you.
