Rest Assured

Rest Assured

And then, waiting became welcoming,
as creation’s cry was answered.
All that came before led to the moment
when far came close,
and the Light moved the darkness aside,
opening our eyes as Peace arrived.

The One the world had longed for was met with questions:
Is this the One we’ve waited for?
Is this the One the prophets spoke of?
Is it true?
Is this boy the Messiah?

Soft and sure, humble and certain,
the joy of the world sleeps in Mary’s arms.
Wise men came to see the One who was sent,
delivering gifts to their Deliverer.
They worshiped and knelt before Him—
full of grace, mercy, and glory.

And you can hear them push the questions away and say,
“Rest assured,
Hope has entered the story.”
