We rejoice again as we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the World. With gladness we look back to the time of the manger, the shepherds, the wise men and the star. We remember Mary as she treasured all that had happened in her heart and nurtured the Son of God in her arms.

And we also look to find him again today. Will we find him with workers looking for improved conditions? With refugees in a faraway camp? With mothers closer to home, struggling to feed their children?

And can you also find him in your particular circumstances? Somewhere amongst your hopes and hears, your dreams and anxieties he lives and awaits to be invited into the centre of your heart. In the words of the old hymns, may we sing, ‘Come to my heart Lord Jesus, there is room in my heart for Thee.’

May you know his peace and joy this Christmas time and always.
