Coming to the dust bowl of Nazareth...our world
planted in a child's womb...our nature
The Creator morphs as the creature...our weakness
robed in swaddling cloths ...our futile righteousness
He presents Himself...unnoticed by many,
welcomed by a few.​

Fantastic!! Our weakness robed in swaddling clothes---futile righteousness...yes!!! That's the whole point of the incarnation(fancy word for God becoming a man) weakness clothed in grace....humanity clothed in divinity...or is it divinity clothed in weak himanity...Phil 2:5-8
Thanks for sharing...do it again...and again. :)

I would say it is 'divinity clothed in weak humanity'.
Thanks for the kind words.

Merry Christmas.
