Reign in ALL of us

Call: Who is it that you seek?

Response: I seek the Lord our God.

Call: Do you seek Him with all your heart? Do you seek Him with all your soul? Do you seek Him with all your mind? Do you seek Him with all your strength?

Response: Amen. Christ, have mercy.


Consider: Psalm 25.4-7; Matthew 22.37; 1 John 1.9

Eternal Father, we celebrate the gift of Your incarnate Son in this season of Advent. Jesus, thank you for being born into our humanness. Holy Spirit, fill us with joy this Christmas as we come to you with all that we are.
Father, Jesus, Holy Spirit: one God, everlasting in glory, live and reign in our lives. Amen.

Our Hearts Are Restless

"Now you have every spiritual gift you need as you eagerly wait for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ".

—1 Corinthians 1.7 (NLT)


"Everlasting God,

in whom we live and move and have our being:

You have made us for Yourself,

so that our hearts are restless

until they rest in you."

—Augustine of Hippo (Algeria/ 354-430)


As we celebrate Jesus' first advent, let us eagerly await His second coming/His next Advent. May we this Christmas season keep our eyes and our hearts desire on Jesus alone!


(Scripture and quote from the Mosaic: Holy Bible.)
