Unto you a child is born.* He is here, with us always.**
He was born in a stable two thousand years ago.*** Now He knocks at the doors of our hearts, asking us to grant Him entry.**** God knocks at the doors of our hearts, respecting our free will, never forcing Himself upon us.
God invites us to be co-creators with Him. He does not force us to decide in a particular way. He leaves it up to us.
We will become who God made us to be to the extent we cooperate with grace.***** We will become our true selves insofar as we open our hearts to God.
We can become much more than we have ever been. God awaits our response to His invitation.
