Bible Verses Covered
Devotion: Six years ago, my husband and I hired a personal trainer that we met three times a week early in the morning. We were watching what we ate and working out hard yet I could not lose any weight. In fact I was gaining weight and rather than feeling stronger, I felt exhausted all the time. My deep fear was that I had recurrence of cancer.
To my relief and excitement, we found out I was pregnant and our daughter was born right as most people crack open their chocolate advent calendars. Until I became a mother I could not understand this miracle of how deep and wide God's love is for us - that God would send his only Son to come down to this earth filled with violence, injustice, fear and hate. Jesus came to us in the sweetest most vulnerable form so that we might understand how strong the power of God's transforming love is.
Prayer: Dear God, thank you for the messengers you send to us to help prepare our hearts to receive and accept this Good News of your love. May we then in turn become messengers to others of this love that you have shown to us. Amen.
