Lord, I’m ready for Advent!
Candles glow from every window.
1500 mini-bulbs twinkle on my shrubs.
...but I’m in need of illumination.
Help me, Lord, to answer St. Paul’s Advent wake-up call:
The hour has come…to wake up from your slumber…the night is nearly over; the day is almost here…put on the armor of light. (Romans 13:11-12)
Help me, Lord, to stand in that light, to stand still and quiet in the light of Jesus Christ. To feel peace and joy. To notice the angels, shepherds and wise men that you put in my path each day.
Help me, Lord, to reflect that light, to share that light...as the Apostle John described it:
The true light that gives light to every man… (John 1:9)
Thank you, Lord, for our Savior, your Son...Jesus the Christ. Jesus the light. Amen.
