Isaiah 9:2
The people who walked in darkness
have seen a great light;
those who lived in a land of deep darkness—
on them light has shined.
The Christ child comes to us
in the dark
For God is no stranger to darkness
And the light that shines
is the light of knowing
that there is one
who knows that darkness
from the inside out
One who does not fear the darkness
or leave us to it
but who comes to us
and stays with us
Stays with us in our loss and grieving
Stays with us in our fear and anger
Stays with us in our impotence and confusion
Stays with us whether our darkness is visible
or carefully masked from others
The Christ child comes to us
and stays with us
in the dark
What an amazing and helpful reminder that God is with us - especially in the darkness. Thank You.
