A drop of water falls on a still pool and leaves rings. Some would call them ripples, as the action affects the water in the immediate surrounding of the drop. One drop can create quite a stir–an impact.
Why?
Because it broke the silence–interrupted the solitude–one tiny drop.
I came–a tiny babe in the quiet of the night.
Most would not see the ‘ripple’ effect.
Most would not believe.
“Why would the Messiah come to shepherds?” “How could this be a King?” They argued amongst their neighbors and families–they argued about Me.
Nothing has changed. . .
There are still those who are unaware–still those who don’t believe. Still those arguing about when I’ll come again–for it’s been a long time, you see.
I did what I said–I came!
I’m coming again, but this time ALL will see. There’s no room for arguments–
I AM!
BELIEVE!
