Let Love Be Born Tonight

<p>On this Christmas day, 2022, I remember a holiday season from many years ago when my faith had started to self-destruct. All the things I had believed in were called to question, and I was left without anything to stand on.</p> <p>At the time, there was a huge uproar in the community where I lived about displaying religious and spiritual symbols on city property, particularly a menorah for Hanukah and a manger for Christmas. I remember laughing myself to tears over this issue, realizing that I would have been marching in protest only a year or two before that. But at the time, I had no feeling about the issue at all.</p> <p>During those years of deconstruction, I still had a yearning. I yearned to know love and to know somehow that I and we aren't alone here. I expressed this desire in a song I wrote called Let It Be Born Tonight. I mentioned this song the other day in my video about hope.</p> <p>If you want to hear the song, I gave the song and rights to it to an organization called Hungry For Music. You can find it here: <a href="https://hungryformusic.bandcamp.com/track/let-it-be-born-tonight" target="_blank">https://hungryformusic.bandcamp.com/track/let-it-be-born-tonight</a></p> <p>In the intervening years, I haven't found any answers to my questions written in stone anywhere, but I have learned to trust the experience of love from a source greater than myself. And the symbols that then seemed so meaningless now are alive as their own expressions of divine love.&nbsp;</p> <p>If any more love can be born in me, let it be born tonight.</p> <p>#Christmas2022 #holidays #Christmassong&nbsp;</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/franklin-taggart9/message
