Every little seed
Bloom confidently.
Even breeze-scattered seed is
rooted by God’s breath.

You found inside you
the price to betray a friend:
that of one suitcoat.

WHAT GOD IS THIS?
Nativity by Gertrude Kasebier c 1901
Following the angel’s appearance months ago,
A young woman – mystified, yet willing –
Subjected herself to ridicule
While readying for the baby whose presence
Began making itself evident.
Then came the night
On the heels of a long and arduous journey
In humbleness of setting and witness.
How prepared was the young woman’s weary body
And emotion-laden heart
For the miracle of birth,
Let alone this Miracle of Birth – this holy night
That culminates in pulling her newborn son to her breast,
Offering life-giving milk
To the very One who created life,
And came to offer it eternal.
What God is this who would choose this humble,
Implausible means
Out of love for a sinner?
My God.
My God…
