Faith in the Christmas Season
Christmas is a special time when our spirit leans toward joy and light. When
we seek wonder and love and joy and delight in our world and one another.
When the sparkle of ornaments and sound of familiar Christmas carols can
soothe our worries and cares if even for a little while.
As we begin the season of Advent let’s take time to remember the true
meaning of Christmas. In Unity we say that the birth of the Christ child
symbolizes the Divine born in each of us. We celebrate that the Christ
consciousness is manifested through our faith in it, and we stand in Faith
and claim joy to the world.
As we start this season of Advent let’s consider how faith is central to this
season. Looking at the story of the birth of Christ metaphysically notice
that each of the main characters exhibited faith.
Mary who with faith accepted that her child was a gift from God destined for
great things.
Joseph who faithfully protected Mary during their journey.
The Shepherds who were faithful enough to leave their valuable sheep to
seek the Christ child.
The wise men who with spiritual wisdom and faith followed the star to
Bethlehem.
Winifred Hausmann in her book 'Your God Given Potential' says this about
Faith:
Faith is the quality in us which enables us to look past appearances of lack,
limitation, or difficulty, to take hold of the divine idea and believe in it even
though we do not see any evidence of it except in our mind. Through faith
we know with an inner knowing the Truth that has not yet expressed in our
manifest world.
How is Faith different from hope? I understand it this way. A child hopes
that Santa will bring them a bicycle on Christmas. Faith is his KNOWING
that Santa will come. Faith is trust in the Eternal Source that provides us
with all we need.
Charles Fillmore would say we shouldn’t hope but we should Know.
Release doubt, stand in faith and claim our good. He was reminding us to
see beyond circumstances to the Truth of our Being.
When the hectic days become overwhelming or when melancholy springs
up suddenly during this season hold to the Faith that you are one with
Divine Source and therefore have all you need to find the joy of the season.
Know with Faith that God’s omnipresent good is active within you, waiting
for you to experience it. Have faith that God’s gifts are constantly coming
forth as creative ideas, abundance, healing, and gratitude. The gifts of
Spirit are unlimited.
