His first coming
inconvenient
embarrassing
for Mary
for Joseph
for their parents
for their friends
Such a message
such a burden
such an inconvenience
such misunderstanding
such blind obedience
In time
understanding came
A light came
from outer darkness
to earth's darkness
to illuminate
to make a way plain
to shine for all to see
Some see
some remain blind
some choose to see
some refuse to see
God still breaks through
time and space
God still invites us
to partner with Him
offering hope
to the hopeless
offering love
to the unlovely
offering bread at midnight
to strangers
transforming lives
making all things new
When He asks you
it may be
inconvenient
nonsensical
embarrassing
Will you offer
blind obedience
to deliver God's miracle
for someone?
Today?
