Heavenly Father, we give you thanks for the love you have shown us, in sending Jesus to be our Savior. May we accept him in our hearts and let his love shine forth.

“Come, thou long-expected Jesus, born to set thy people free; from our fears and sins release us, let us find our rest in thee. Israel’s strength and consolation, hope of all the earth thou art; dear desire of every nation, joy of every longing heart.”
