I was reading the insert that we have for our bulletins called Taking Faith Home. One of the suggestions was to read certain scriptures each day leading to Christmas Morn as a family and talk about the passage. The ending of the time was to say Our Household is a circle that is held together by God's love. Come, Lord Jesus, and fill us with your love. Amen.
The first scripture verse comes from Psalm 36:5. I am quoting from the TNIV:
"Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies."
Have you thought about the extant of God's love. Especially at this time of year. There is no end to it. A circle is a best way of imagining it if one can imagine a circle the contains all of the universe and beyond. There is no beginning or end to God's love. There is no place that God's love is not. Wherever we may be in our personal lives as well as places, God's love is already there and available. That is what makes this time of year so awesome. God who is present everywhere choose the particular to come to be with us. And in that birth to show us what love can look like for us. Stay tuned for the verse for tomorrow.
May God bless you and your family, friends, and church community during this time of Advent.
