Like the Magi, we follow a star. We sense that love does fall from skies above.

As we are hosting or visiting this Christmas season, I invite us to remember God’s message of “I love you” and to remember also that deep-down love is our message.

I have a hunch that we long even for “bafflement, [for] something like submission – the willingness to be overpowered” by the One whom we know (as Paul said) “loved me and gave himself for me” (Gal 2:21).

If for whatever reason when you are in the “wilderness” or in some way unhappy or wondering why it’s taking so long to grow in your faith or questioning if Jesus really is “the one” or if you should seek another, maybe remember this one thing: being a Christian is all about love.

We live in a world with many messages – with many stories, or “myths,” if you will. It is important for us as Christians not to let this so-called “wisdom” of the world replace the Gospel.
