Connected Love

Advent Focus 

Love

 Meditate

Luke not only wrote about the in-breaking of God into the daily life of humanity
but also about the individuals who participated in the God-event.
The story of Christ, God with us, would not be the same without
Joseph, Mary, the shepherds, and others.
Their legacy, recorded in the scriptures, powerfully demonstrates
how humanity is given the opportunity
to participate and engage with the activity of God in this world.   
  
Luke 2:5-12                                                                                          
He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child.  While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them. And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."

Continual Love

Advent Focus 
Love
  Meditate
God, who created the universe, gave up everything that we may live in His love by sending His Son.  The love of God is not a-one-time gift but an ongoing-active -continual gift.
This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 1 John 4:10
 Pray with expectation.
Breath prayer: Continually in Your Love.

Convinced


Advent Focus 
Love

Meditate
Are you convinced that the love of God is more powerful than anything or anyone?  Does your life reveal that you are convinced? 

Meditate on what it means to be convinced that God sent His Son out of the power of love. 

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:37-39


 Pray with expectation.
Breath prayer: Convinced of Your Love
