00331 – Trust the Light
Dols, William

Christmas is about darkness. Darkest hour and longest night. It is the appointment that we dread the most and work hardest in our lives to avoid year after year after year.

Whatever month it may finally happen, it is when we choose at least to play hide-and-seek no longer—a game of hide-and-seek that always includes the other, ourselves and God.

It is the moment when you look into the eyes of the one you know your life depends on and brave the darkness, trusting the light that is the Word that is God.
