The earth lies in cold dark stillness. The world is crying out, lost and unsure where to go and what direction to head. A voice whispers “Follow the Star!”
Three figures set out from afar to search and find a newborn king. With no map or compass to guide them, how do they know where to go? A voice whispers “Follow the Star!”
The star leads the three figures and us to the exact spot where are we called to dwell with a newborn king who is called EMMANUEL. When we feel lost and cannot find our way we just have to listen for the voice and obey, “Follow the Star!”
Help us EMMANUEL even though we might have to travel far. Give us the courage and conviction to trust you and Follow the Star!
