Think about a time when you have felt loved. Perhaps a loving hug when you needed comfort, or during a time of celebration. Reflect on those feelings.

God’s love for you can be felt during those times. He uses those around us to remind us that He brings that love into our lives. His love for us is greater than anything we can experience on our own...

Heavenly Father,

Thank you for this season of Advent that reminds us of the greatest gift – your Son, sent to us out of your LOVE for us. Father, help us feel that love today. Remind us that whether we are experiencing pain or disappointment, sorrow or sadness, we can come to you and be assured that your love is ALWAYS available to us.

You have promised to walk with us, surrounding us with your love. Thank you for ALWAYS being there!

In your most holy and precious name we pray, Amen.
