In a Now-deep Sense of Belonging

Word is out
a child has come,
and the child in us is born

From this now-deep sense of belonging
comes the joyous gift of being

In Love’s vast blast
attention is given to the young and the old
to the least, lost, and last

With flow of divine favor and by inclusive call,
I Am in us enlivened, to love and care for all

Retelling the birth of Christ stirs the child in us with a burst of astonishment at our own existence and purpose for being. With every child born comes a deep sense of belonging and a resonance of the divine I Am is amplified.

By what generous act will I Am be made known in your life today?
