Christmas Eleven

It is good to believe God spoke a gentle word; a word that can still be heard. A word gentle enough that when believed takes away fear and allows for one’s soul to be of good cheer. A word gentle as it protects the soul from evil attacks and gently brings one’s wholeness back. We could use God’s gentle word in amongst us that we may find the ultimate good to trust. In a world more and more driven by suspicion and greed it is exactly God’s gentle word that we need. When we find ourselves collectively lost and at cross purposes we can know of direction, grace, and gentleness of which God has a great surplus. On earth in a manger a new born baby’s cry is a gentle echo from heaven to remind us of God’s redemptive gentle word on Christmas Eleven.
