“Oh dear Lord, my God, my King,
in the form of a little infant, You teach me more than anyone. You chose to
reveal Yourself to us through an infant. You chose to come in the glory of the
innocence and helplessness of a baby. The first impression You chose to give us
of Your arrival was not in riches, glorious robes, loud trumpets and ornate
displays of honor and worship; instead, it was in the quiet humility of a poor
person’s birth, with nothing but the life that God the Father had granted You
and the pure love of a dear mother and father chosen by God the Father. Isn’t
that all we need? You give us all that we need. The rest is extra and truly
unnecessary.
“Oh baby Jesus, if only we all
could remember our infancies, then maybe we would remember what to be truly
grateful for and we could remember the great love that surrounds us at our
entry into the world. Oh baby Jesus, all powerful and mighty, the giver of Your
greatest gift – love, may that love grow in each of us; may we soak it up like
a sponge and spread it everywhere to everyone. Squeeze me so that Your great
love can be shared and then fill me again! Oh baby Jesus, make me humble and
help me remember the things You gave me at my conception – my life and Your
love.”
