I saw the Nativity Story last night for the first time. I know that it's only a depiction of our Lord Jesus, but just seeing his tiny hands in the manger made me beam, lifted me up, and I cried.
Those tiny hands were real, they were really here on this planet. And when the wiseman said "God made into flesh!" It struck home, the purpose that was before this precious baby. The suffering that he would endure for me. The joyful messages he would deliver, which would eventually reach my ear. Praise Jesus!
Thanks for that suggestion in this forum. I'm truly grateful. I love watching movies like this, movies that lift me up and make me see the separate events that are happening in my life as a whole, rather than random acts.
