May you see Jesus
as the Son of God
and Son of man.
May both His divinity
and humanity
be a reality to you today.
In seeing your Lord’s sharing
in our circumstances
and His surrendering
of divinity’s advantages
in order to relate to His people,
may this create connections in your heart
to Jesus the Son of God and Son of man.
When you search and search
for your God and are troubled
by His seeming lack of presence,
may you receive comfort in your waiting,
knowing that God’s love for you is constant,
and His Spirit will never leave you.
May you be reminded in those times
of how Mary and Joseph
searched and searched
only to be surprised
at the place that they ran into
the Son of God and Son of man.
May Jesus’ example of submission
be a model for you as you begin this year,
so that as 2020 begins to get going,
you would approach it
with your Father’s footsteps
to guide your way.
May the Lord bless you and keep you.
May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you.
May the Lord lift up His countenance to you and give you peace.
