"Now burn, new born to the world,
Double-natured name,
The heaven-flung, heart-fleshed, maiden-furled
Miracle-in-Mary-of-flame,
Mid-numbered He in three of the thunder-throne!
Not a dooms-day dazzle in his coming
Nor dark as he came;
Kind, but royally reclaiming his own;
A released shower, let flash to the shire,
not a Lightning of fire hard-hurled."
Gerard Manley Hopkins

We must have the glory sink into us before it can be reflected from us. In deep inward beholding we must have Christ in our hearts, that He may shine forth from our lives.
Alexander MacLaren
