Last Sunday we lit the candle of joy. We light it and the candles of hope and peace again as we remember that Christ will come again and bring us everlasting peace and joy. The fourth candle of Advent is the Candle of Love. It's light is meant to remind us of the love that God has for us. He is God's love in human form.
Love is never boastful or conceited, rude or selfish.
Love is not quick to take offense, it keeps no records of wrongs, it does not gloat over other people's troubles, but rejoices in the right, the good, and the true. There is nothing that love cannot face, there is no limit to its faith, to its hope, to its endurance. Love never ends. Help us prepare our hearts to receive Him. Bless our worship.
