Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son,
and they shall call his name Emmanuel,
which being interpreted is, God with us.
Matthew 1:23 KJV
***

***
And morning came… It still comes.
Our God is here, Emmanuel, among us,
always coming towards us,
always standing behind us,
always standing up for us,
always standing with us in solidarity in communion
asking us to come with Him now as disciple,
as follower,
as believer,
as a friend,
as intimate beloved child of God,
now and forever.
