It is interesting to me that as adults we occasionally lose vision for our future. We get to a point where we can’t imagine things changing for us. We’re too old to start over (although quite often there is less truth to that than we imagine.)
When a baby is born that spark of life fills us again with greater vision. The vision is not just for the baby but for our whole world and ourselves in particular as we dream about the difference we can make with God’s help.
Luke 1:46 And Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord, 47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
Luke 1:51 He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts. 52 He has brought down the powerful from their thrones, and lifted up the lowly;
At Christmas we try and regain that spark of hope and vision for how the world can be.
Think back to your dreams for your own life or for our world. Remember that God is not some distant judge watching from afar. God is the very power of being itself still made flesh among us today. New life, new possibilities are constantly created among us. Rejoice!
