Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within
me.
(Psalm 51:10
NRSV)
Church is not always as exciting, perhaps, as a football game or an action-filled motion
picture. But this is where God may be found by any who are truly searching. I read
recently of a recording that's doing wonders in a certain nursery. This is a nursery full
of infants and sometimes all of them will start crying at once. But the nursery workers
have found out that if they put on this recording it seems to have a soothing effect on
the infants, and before long all of them stop crying. It's the sound of a mother's
heartbeat. Apparently the infant has some memory of life before birth and the calming,
reassuring effect of that heartbeat brings peace into those young lives. If we are quiet
enough and still enough in this place, perhaps you and I can hear the heartbeat of God.
Dear God, in this great season of celebrating the birth of our Savior, bring us close to
your heart. Amen.
