PRAY
Let every heart prepare Him room…Lord, we open our hearts to You today. We focus in on the simple yet profound truth that You are Love. You showed us how much You loved us by sending your Son into the world, that we might have eternal life through Him. This is real Love: not that we loved You, but that You loved us and sent Jesus as a sacrifice for us. That is the Love we celebrate this Christmas.
You are love. Come and make Your home in our hearts as we trust in You, Lord. Let our roots grow down into Your love and keep us strong. Help us understand how deep and wide and long and high Your love is, Lord. Thank You for the gift of experiencing You and experiencing Your love, though it is too great for us to ever understand fully.
You are love, and in You we find completion, satisfaction, the fullness of life and power that comes only from You. Thank you for reminding us how dearly You love us each day by giving us Your Holy Spirit, who fills our hearts with Your love. Thank You that we get to live in complete confidence that there is nothing that can separate us from Your love. There is nothing that can separate us from You! We rejoice in this Truth today– Your love never ends and never fails.
You are love, and You dwell within us. Remind us Lord that we are carriers of Your love this week. Instead of worrying about what gifts we’ll bring, help us remember the privilege of bringing Your Presence with us everywhere we go. Let every heart prepare You room, Lord–that begins with us, with our hearts right in this very moment. Teach us to remain in Your love, to love and obey You as You call us to. You fill us with the fruit of Your love, the fruit of Your Spirit as we remain in You. Let us be accurate reflections of Your love to our families and friends this year, Lord.
You are love, and You’ve chosen to dwell in our hearts. We are humbled and awed by the wonders of Your Love, Lord. We can’t help but sing for joy to our world that You have come! Let every heart prepare room for You, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
READ & MEDITATE
God’s love was revealed among us in this way: God sent his one and only Son into the world so that we might live through him. Love consists in this: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins.
1 John 4:9-10
and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. I pray that you, being rooted and firmly established in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the length and width, height and depth of God’s love, and to know Christ’s love that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Ephesians 3:17-19
This hope will not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
Romans 5:5
For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:38-39
As the Father has loved me, I have also loved you. Remain in my love. If you keep my commands you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. “I have told you these things so that my joy may be in you and your joy may be complete. “This is my command: Love one another as I have loved you.
John 15:9-12
Sing a new song to the Lord, for he has performed wonders; his right hand and holy arm have won him victory.
The Lord has made his victory known; he has revealed his righteousness in the sight of the nations.
He has remembered his love and faithfulness to the house of Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen our God’s victory.
Let the whole earth shout to the Lord; be jubilant, shout for joy, and sing.
Sing to the Lord with the lyre, with the lyre and melodious song.
With trumpets and the blast of the ram’s horn shout triumphantly in the presence of the Lord, our King.
Let the sea and all that fills it, the world and those who live in it, resound.
Let the rivers clap their hands; let the mountains shout together for joy
before the Lord, for he is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world righteously and the peoples fairly.
Psalm 98
