Take a moment and look in your heart however you do that. Another way to do that is look into your consciousness of truth.
Take a moment to behold what is in you and present that we could bring into this blessing, this opportunity to come into all that is the Christ.
Perhaps some of that is looking in any way at what remains with you, that you appreciate or in some way you are still trying to let go, or work out, or bring into some form of clearing, healing, and balancing.
Consider that you are fully awake, fully connected to your creatorship, that you were born with all that God has, all that God gives, all that God is to bring forward in the special way that we have of imagining.
Tune within to the consciousness of your own innocence, your purity, that we still have fertile ground on which we can plant whatever it is we want to create.
Take a moment to imagine, like a child would imagine, with the full power of what you wish, what you would want to create, making sure that you are looking at whatever concerns you.
With your ability, with what is here, and the ability of God, you can also create for whoever you like. So bring to mind those you care about, those you love and keep going.
Bring to mind whoever is your neighbor, whoever you would look upon as a stranger, somebody not like you or somebody not expected.
In the power you have to wish upon a star, to wish upon what comes forward, to this consciousness we call the Christ.
What would you wish for yourself? For those you love? For those who are near and far, whether that is a great distance or a way of relating.
You have the power to bless yourself and them. In this consciousness of the Christ, we welcome the peace and joy.
We welcome the Beloved.
For those who need our patience, our understanding, our compassion, our willingness, we choose to give and give and give until what we need to do amongst one another is done.
In our imagination, we see a bright star across the night sky. We see a gentle place with rolling hills and shepherds. In the light of this bright star in the sky, there is a light extending, illuminating the night across a field, across a dark sky. There is annunciation from a holy presence that appears, that tonight the Beloved of God is born into our midst and very near. And each one of us is called to follow where this light appears in a place where we see it radiating.
We all arrive to this place to be amongst those who are the witnesses, that we can look upon this Christ born into the flesh as a child in modest, humble and simple circumstances.
Yet, there is untold beauty in those who come bearing wisdom and knowledge of what we are all praying for and all seeking, not just in this day, but across time and across all circumstances.
In this moment we are beholding that we are blessed Beloved of God, that this child in this radiant presence of joy and peace and harmony for all is bearing this as a gift of the Christ for each one of us, whether we know it or not. It is a blessing and a gift that moves in again into every heart, into every soul, so we too know we are born of the Lord.
We welcome this presence.
This knowing carries a great responsibility.
So we know our life has a path; has a clear, powerful direction. And from this night, this day, this new birth, there is to be more joy and peace, more openness and patience.
We express to one another in kindness and understanding. We look upon each other as friends, knowing that we always carry that ability.
We know that God has placed it in us so we know what a friend is to be no matter what we find in another’s expression.
And what we find and what is created in this world is that we are friends, all of us are friends, blessed friends of the Lord.
