Where Love leaves a mark…
As we wander on the edge of a new year, I wonder
in this year of uncertainties, unknowns, unlikelies….where does Love leave His mark?
He came down from the Heavens to meet us, entering earth through the waters of a womb.
He met us in an abandoned space, a manger left empty.
He meets us in vacated abodes, the places we don’t allow others to enter in.
He meets us in the barren hole, the center of a heart left hollow.
He meets us on the broken pier, a landing place built for others that is now desolate.
He is our Rock. Our foundation. The rocks cry out for Him.
The world aches for Him.
We are rooted and grounded in His love. His wish for us this new year: That we would know the breadth and length and height and width of His Love, that we might be filled with all the fullness of God.
He met us at the crossroads of two worlds, heaven and earth.
At the center of two beams nailed together.
That is where Love makes His mark.
That is where Love rescued us
and gave us a Rock.
A firm place to stand in this unusual year.
A firm place to stand in a coming new year.
