Fourth Day of Advent
O God,
Work in us through your Spirit and grace to enable us constantly to grow so that we might be as mature as possible—and thus as ready as possible—when your Son Jesus comes again.
Work in us through your Spirit and grace to enable us constantly to grow so that we might be as mature as possible—and thus as ready as possible—when your Son Jesus comes to us today and in every day of our lives.
When it comes to his Second Coming, we have no idea how or when he will appear.
But when it comes to his coming to us here and now, we have a really good idea how and when he appears—he appears every day in the lives of those who love us with his love and in the lives of those who need us to love them with his love.
Thank you for how Christ comes to us in those who love us enough to try to help us in our need.
Thank you for how Christ comes to us in those who give us the opportunity to love him by helping them in their need.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
Amen.
