the
time had come
the
plan set in motion
the heartbeat with no beginning and no end
began to pulse with life
as the Creator of life
became one of His created
that heartbeat barely a flutter
inside of a girl young
a girl trusting
a girl willing to say yes...
to be a momma to the One who
flung stars into space
formed mountain and valley
told ocean waves how far
they could go
created the very ground
on which she knelt in awe
the Composer of the entire world's life song
the Conductor of the symphony of life...
because her heart was willing
her world...her life song...were forever changed
Mary's heart was a heart after the very heart
she would birth...
Jesus
a heart emptied of self
filled with Jesus
how amazing to think that
the heart she gave
would beat for the
heart growing in her...
the heart which in turn would
give her heart life
give all hearts life
the heart born that holy night
still beats
with love tender yet strong
that heartbeat underlies all
the pulsating rhythmic beating of His heart
is the beat to which every life song sings
even those hearts not yet aware of His deep deep love
love so deep He lowered His heart to our hearts
so our hearts could be raised with His heart
that furious and glorious and relentless love
pursues to the last heartbeat
for His heart beats for every heart
ever lived past
present
future
until
the plan set in motion that
first Christmas night
is completed
