I'm Bankrupt Without Love

The fourth week of Advent, the last Sunday before Christmas, boasts of love. The gift
of Christmas was given on a starry night, to the parents of a young couple
traveling in obedience to the harsh rules of an oppressive government. The gift
of God’s love, lying in a feeding trough, was and is for those of us who despite
our failures and our brokenness and our mistakes, a gift of love shown more in deeds than in words.
Here’s a couple of points I’m
going to put into practice as I embrace the gift of God’s love and move towards
Christmas day. Won’t you join me in: Letting those we love be perfectly
themselves - not twisting them to fit my your image of who they should be -
accepting them at face value; Looking for the image of God in others, reminding
ourselves it’s about the contents of a person, not the container; Daily let’s
remind ourselves, life isn’t about me, it’s about God and God is about love.
Lastly as Advent comes to a close, let’s not look to others for the kind of
love and affirmation only God can give us. Shalom and Come Emmanuel
