Meaning in the Nativity
That God did come for the prim and proper is shown in so many nativity scenes. But God also came for the poor and disheveled, for those elegantly clothed and those who wear rags, for those of all colors, all shapes and all sizes. People from every corner of earth get to celebrate God coming to THEM! Today the nativities taught me again that God's coming to us is a personal gift. He comes and He is just what each of us needs. We don't need to chase after Him hopelessly. Instead our Emmanuel God came to us. And though Jesus came into the world only once, the way that he comes to each heart can only be portrayed with such uniquely personal colors and shapes as those of the nativities of the world that I saw today.
