 The parable of Christmas … isn’t to bring the universe to me. but to open and expand my heart … that I might see possibilities in those who have no standing in this world, that I might see possibilities even in the darkness and the challenges and setbacks of my own life. When I think I have nothing to offer and nothing to live for and nothing more that can go wrong in my life, it’s in the midst of the darkness of that long winter’s night that we hear a tiny baby’s voice piercing the darkness. That’s that parable of God, making us unsettled, so that we can learn to trust only in God and no one else.
