ABC's of Advent
C is for collision.
The great intersection of light piercing the darkness. The great pushing back of the dark cloud in order to reveal the nature of God Himself. Showing Himself to a world who is in need of a map to wholeness. A collision revolving around spirit and soul, body and mind. A great explosion of thoughts, feelings, action, and beliefs.
This great dynamite of Jesus Himself blowing a huge eternal hole through the cavern of all the separation and darkness that has entangled us. No more being left feeling void and unworthy. No more needing a rescue. The great rescue has happened. The great collision has taken place.
All the spirit world freezes as the Christ child cries. Emmanuel, God is with us. Right here made of the same dirt as you and me. Elements placed perfectly so that our eyes can light up with Christmas joy. This God in baby form's cry echoing to all good and evil that God has come and His plan will not be hindered. They way He has paved will not be blocked.
And He is here now. God with me and God with you. So near, outside the constraints of time and nature. Like an artist standing outside his best peace on show for display, yet guarding carefully the elements that are still being released and interpreted. Treasuring His work. Reveling in the artistry and the reality of it being the finest of works. The Mater's piece. The last masterpiece.
Have you allowed a collision? Is there someone in your path that needs a collision of love and kindness to disrupt the frustration and discouragement that dogs them daily? Allow yourself to be the dynamite in someone else's life today. Bringing a collision into view where they feel treasured, safe, and wanted. This Advent season, let's explode with love.
