ADVENT

“When the Seekers Are Sought”

Where is He?

Where is the one who has been born King of the Jews? 

Perilous journey of night and day,

Through dangerous worlds and places unknown. 
Threatened by man and beast,
Still we went in search of this King.

The stars beckoned us. 

The heavens told us that he had come.
The constellations have been our guide. 
 
And yet something else,
Something more
Calls to us from within.
The restlessness of our hearts has awakened us to this destiny.

More than a than a journey of steps,

It has been a journey of our hearts. 
Our ancestors told us to look to the skies.
For there they thought we would find peace and hope and purpose.
And we did.

But not in the stars,

Beyond the stars.
Far above the shining lights in the sky
Is One who created and now sustains all we behold.
It is He who called us to this journey. 
No longer are we the seekers. 
We are the sought.

The Divine One has come in search of us.

And He found us. 
And called us
To this passage of faith. 

We may never return home.

So be it.
We have found the King.    
Our restless hearts will no longer wander.
In Him we have found the peace for which we have searched.    

And we will offer Him our best,

Our treasures we will lay before Him.    
We will celebrate that we have found Him,
And that He found us. 

And you. 
You do not worship Him?
You do not know Him?
How can this be true?
Has He not found you?
