Song of Songs 2:8-14; Psalm 33:2-3, 11-12, 20-21; Luke 1:39-45

You, too, are a Christ-bearer

There is something about some people -- a quality that you can experience, but cannot put into words. “For the moment your greeting reached my ears, the child in my womb leapt for joy”. We all carry the Christ within us. Believe that, to the extent that you are like Mary, genuine and unassuming, Christ-within-you will bring joy to those you meet. Lord, let me be comfortable in my own skin.
