on that night
so many years ago,
as the angels sang to
shepherds and sheep,
did heaven weep?
did Abba's tears fall?
His only Son was crying
human tears as
His human
mother
held
Him.
Jesus...divinity
and humanity wrapped
into a tiny baby.
were tears running down
the face of the Father?
was His heart broken
for HIS loss?
was His heart aching
as much for Himself,
and for what the plan
now fully set in motion
would mean for His Son,
as it was aching for us?
for only a heart fiercely in love
could even consider giving a
sacrifice so all consuming.
this love of Abba ran
through every tear that
Jesus ever cried.
it ran through every
drop of blood shed
on the cross.
and this love of Abba
still runs with an
extravagance
so lavish.
it flows from His heart
to hearts everywhere.
this is the true gift of the waiting.
the Father's love
bending low as
heaven embraced
earth.
