Divine Littleness

The Christ child is the real model of this "littleness," this poverty, this nothingness. And yet He was All. God lacked nothing, but there was just one thing He did not have, did not know about: littleness, weakness. He wanted to experience it in Jesus and there, right there, He showed us the right relationship between creature and Creator.
