These Dark Winter Nights

Winter's chilly, dark nights have brought a little sadness and a little tempest into my heart again. I've been reckoning with anger, insecurity, loss, and fear. But... I am reminded of how Jesus came down to breathe the salty-sea air that harbors my tempest. I am told He breathed this nauseating air so that He could be close to me, so that He could feel what I feel--and worse. He did this for me. He tore the veil of stars, planets, galaxies; of time, space, and matter. He tore that veil so that He could see me--and you.

Christ is Born.
