The Sacred Exchange

Isaiah 41:10 KJV
10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yes, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

Sometimes it’s hard to know what to pray. A litany of prayers seems to fall short when the matter at hand appears to be our own fault. It’s hard to find another human being who will understand when the problem is a relatively small thing, that for some unknown reason, we are incapable to do for our self.

It’s hard to accept that our Faith isn’t enough to handle the small things. The Lord wants us to share everything. Everything is a big deal if it disrupts our peace of mind.

The Sacred Exchange

The Solstice is “3 days of darkness” in the North that lead to Christmas. The Season of Light is filled with Expectation in the Darkness of the Unknown. The Offering of Faith is the Light we bring to the Season.

God orders the Time and Place of our Life and Death. In the beginning, one can feel very much like the other when the end is beyond our control. Life was out of control for Mary and Joseph. Even though Messengers of Light promised what the end would be, how it happens is the Mystery we can only know after the Miracle.

I remember the Dark Nights before Christmas 2021, facing an unknown future. I had no way of knowing that my life was at the threshold of an Answer to my prayer.

Miracles happen all at once. “Impossible” is the perfect Time to See that Only God could save us.

The Word promises Atonement for every Offering of the Heart. The Divine Justice for Faith in the Unseen is to “See Clearly” that we are Redeemed by the Light.
