Monday of the Fourth Week of Advent
For God alone my soul in silence waits;
from the One comes my salvation.
Psalm 62:1
I wait for Emmanuel: God with us. I wait for Jesus: Joshua, Yeshua, Yahweh saves, God saves. I wait for God who saves by being the God who is with us. So with us as to become truly human.
I want to walk this final stretch as if God is with us. As if Jesus is alongside of me, chatting about the scenery as we go. As if the prophecy of wisdom, peace, and healing is about to be fulfilled. As if I am ready to dive deep into mystery.
Come, Jesus.
