I saw myself standing before God to be judged, and he wept.
He shook his head at me in disappointment.
He asked: How could you have broken my trust this way? Why did you not care for my beloved child? How can you return her to me in this state -- bruised, broken, neglected, unloved? I gave you dominion over her so you could bring her back to me whole and beautiful. She was your responsibility. Do you hate me so much you would betray me in this, and break my heart so?
I crumbled to the floor sobbing. Overwhelmed with suffocating shame. I didn't mean it. I didn't know. I didn't know I was the one entrusted with her. I never saw Your child, Your beloved--I saw only this broken wretch fallen before you.
I would not have done this .... and He comes to me and enfolds me in his arms and We weep together.
We are, each of us, precious children of God whom he has entrusted to us to care for and to love.
For this Christ came in to the world on Christmas day, for God's love for each of us.
