They Didn’t Know Who He Was
“Sweet little Holy child, we didn’t know who you were.” (Robert MacGimsey)
“We didn’t know who you were”. What a heart-breaking statement about the state of the human race. It so succinctly expresses our incapacity, or unwillingness, to see every person as a true expression of Perfect Love.
Our social, religious, and educational cultures, tend to highlight those whose lives, in some way, stand out. We hold them up as role models, as the epitome of who we are to look up to, to emulate.
Jesus, Buddha, Mohamad, Quan Yin, Mother Teresa, Padre Pio, Dr. Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, Gandhi, Maya Angelou; the list goes on and on as people we should be like! People whom we ‘didn’t know who they were’ at birth.
As harbingers of a world order change, whatever the accuracy of their histories, their lives have been seen as a turning points in civilization, spiritual as well as secular. Their lives DID herald a major changes in the larger cycles of the world we live in.
I experience each of us, you and me, friends and enemies, as that same “holy child” and am starkly aware that we “didn’t know who they were”.
You, specifically, may not be – or appear to be – a catalyst for the major changes we are all experiencing. Or are you?
You are the Sweet Holy Child living among us. As you discover who you are, and live from that knowledge, you too, in a quiet and subtle way, create change and healing in the world around you. You too ignite, in your own quiet way, the Love you came from and have always been. You, too, become a living example of the Peace which passeth all understanding.
I believe that when we choose to recognize the “holy child” we are, and embrace that same “holy child” in each other, we have changed the course of civilization, the consciousness of the world.
My Christmas wish for you is that you “know who you are”!
