Titus 3:4-7
“But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.”
Yesterday we lit the “Love” candle to signify the fourth week of Advent that leads up to Christmas. Let us focus the next couple of days on the spirit of Love that God demonstrated by giving His Son. It’s the Greatest Gift ever given! It renews and changes our hearts from the inside so that we can reflect the Spirit of Christ. May we be a reflection of the Greatest Gift, not just at Christmas, but every day.
“The most vivid memories of Christmases past are
usually not of gifts given or received
but of the spirit of Love,
the special warmth of Christmas worship,
the cherished little habits of the home,
the results of others acting
in the Spirit of Christ.” ~ Lois Rand
