Love and Kindness have met

Love and Kindness have met

and the meeting of the two

has changed everything for us!

Love is the very heart of God

Kindness is the result.

Because of his love

something amazing happened.

They met in a manger, a cattle trough.

They met when God's outrageous love

was seen in his radical kindness.

They were seen in a baby

A baby who changed everything!

Now everyone knows these basic truths-

There is a God,

and he loves us,

and out of that love he acted.

The thing he did, sending his son,

revealed his heart and his willingness

to help us, to save us, to show us

himself.

The reason we still celebrate this holiday 

is in that day so many years ago

love and kindness met

and in that meeting

we are now invited

to become

sons

of 

God!

Some will say, "if God can do something

why doesn't he? If he can help us, where is he?"

All of that is answered in the day when love

and kindness met, when Christ was born

and God became one of us.
