For Unto Us a Child Is Born


This grand event has brought us peace, reckoning for our restless souls.
Mundane days blew away, cheer and gladness fill our lives.
That infant frame held the power of created earth.
Redemption for all mankind.

I've known those same moments of childbirth- the fear, the pain, the agony. And also the relief, the joy, the overwhelming love. This Christmas my heart is so full of wonder that from such a tender creature came such awesome victory. Because the son of God chose to come into the earth, sin and death were silenced. And He chose to come as a baby. Excitement swells in my heart that I too have brought forth a wee babe. And that I get to witness great victory proceed from her life.
