God came near

"He gave up his place with God and made himself nothing.
He was born as a man and became like a servant."
Philippians 2:7 NCV

It all happened in a most remarkable moment...a moment like no other...
God became a man.
Divinity arrived.
Heaven opened herself and placed her most precious one in a human womb.
The omnipotent, in one instant, became flesh and blood.
The one who was larger than the universe became a microscopic embryo.
And he who sustains the world with a word chose to be dependent upon the nourishment of a young girl.
God had come near.

(excerpt from Max Lucado's, 'God Came Near')
