Devotional Reading from the Daily Common Lectionary: I John 4: 7-16

Text: God is love, and those who abide in love abide in God, and God abides in them. (v. 16a)

Kari Jobe once sang, Love came down and rescued me; Love came down and set me free. That is what the Incarnation is all about. The Love of God came to earth to show us a new Way of Life, one built upon Forgiveness, Grace and Second Chances…even a Third Chance, by the grace of God.

When we live in response to this Love we become living glimpses of grace.

Lord, on this Christmas Day may I live in such a way that when others see me, they give You the glory. Amen.
