Engraved

Sin.
Engraved by diamond point.
Written with iron stylus.
On the tablets of their hearts
and ours.
Jeremiah 17:1

Jesus.

The radiance of God’s glory. The exact expression of His nature. He sustains all things by His powerful word. (Hebrews 1:1-3)

Radiance, cloaked. Hidden. In the womb of a young woman named Mary.

And there, the One who knits us together is knit together. Formed. Protected. Nourished.

And the time comes. Always anticipated, yet surprising. Sudden. Arriving with birth pangs. Labor.

And unto us a Child is born. Unto us a Son is given.

You reveal mystery in the quiet, often.

Solitude.

Hard won in certain seasons. Mere breaths of time when children are young. Random moments, captured here and there.

But out of necessity, we take them. Make time. And draw near.
