and they shall name him Emmanuel,”

God is with us.

Quote / Poem  

Dietrich Bonhoeffer, from *God Is in the Manger*  

“God is not ashamed of the lowliness of human beings.  

God marches right in.  

God chooses people as his instruments  

and performs wonders where one would least expect them.  

God is near us—  

in the midst of our lives.”
