Luke 10:21-24

Jesus rejoices in the Holy Spirit.

Take time today to rejoice in the Spirit as Jesus does. Sit quietly before the Lord and allow him to speak to your heart.

Loving God, we come before you today to rejoice in your love, which you give to us each day of our lives. We also rejoice in your Spirit, which you give to us so freely. Allow us to never forget your Spirit in our lives. Let the Holy Spirit lead and guide us on our Advent Journey.

Matthew 8:5-11

Many will come from the east and the west into the Kingdom of Heaven.

Do we remember how often God comes to us in the here and now, as He dwells with us on the journey of Advent? God is here among us; all we have to do is open our eyes to see him walking with us.

Creator God, as we continue our Advent journey, let us remember that we need the gift of faith like the centurion had in Jesus. Bless us with the gift of faith so we can grow that gift in our lives as we await your coming.

God is always loving me. Such a comforting and consoling thought and daily experience. My faith increases, and I become more deeply immersed in God through morning prayer, meditation, and kindness and Love toward everyone. When I let go of negativity in thoughts, words, and actions, GOD  TAKES OVER, and I find myself on a fantastic journey with God embracing, guiding, and pouring more LOVE into me. And my faith in this LOVING GOD INCREASES. LIFE, THEN, BECOMES A DIVINE AND LOVING EXPERIENCE OF GOD.
