On the second week of Advent we light
the candle of Love
God is love, and
those who abide in love abide in God, and God abides in them. (1 John 4:16b
NRSV)
Today’s Thought: I can’t fully
comprehend divine love, but I can live
in love because God lives in me.
Today’s Prayer: Almighty God, it is
hard for me to understand the enormity of You. I view you from my limited human
perspective, which has been influenced by my earthly relationships. People who
have professed to love me have hurt
me—parents, family members, friends—and those hurts corrupt my understanding of
the real love You have for me. You are love.
Love is the very substance of You. When
I look at the Baby in the manger, I am seeing the perfect example of true,
everlasting love. I will never
understand that fully until I see you face to face, but I don’t want to wait
that long. Teach me more about You today. Give me a glimpse of divine love in the midst of my activities of the
day. Help me to live, to abide in Your
love this Christmas season and
always. Amen.
