Lord God, may we, your people,

who look forward to the birthday of Jesus

experience the joy of salvation

and celebrate that feast with love and thanksgiving.

We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. ~AMEN

***********************************************************************
Hear me Dearest Lord,

In darkness, I look for your wisdom.
I want my heart to be fully open to you.
But sometimes in these times, it seems that
so many things come between us.

Help me to be awake and aware
of the “light” you bring to my life.
Help me to be grateful each and every day
for the blessings of my family and friends.
Help me to be a peacemaker
in my own life, and in the world.
I now pray especially for our troubled world
and for all those who are so in need of an end to violence.
My soul begs for this with my Advent prayer today.

AMEN

LOVE

Power of Love

August 3

Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come forth from God and was going back to God, got up from supper, and laid aside His garments; and taking a towel, He girded Himself. Then He poured water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.
-John 13:3-5
▶︎ LISTEN TO THE DEVOTIONAL
Our passage tells us that Jesus understood He had all power and all authority – all the things God has. What did He do with that power? It’s safe to say that Jesus handled power differently than we do. We grasp for power and use it against others to advance our own self-absorbed agendas. But not Jesus. His power was characterized by sacrifice and service as seen in our scripture when He washed His disciples’ feet.

Not only did Jesus lay aside His garments to serve, He also laid down His power to save, for soon after this occasion, Jesus would die on the Cross. There we witness the power of love in action, the most powerful thing in the world. The bottom line: God, through Christ, loved you and me all the way to the Cross, and will love us all the way to Heaven.
