First Thursday in Advent
Wonder of a Star
(Light the 1st Purple Candle)
…You must keep on paying attention until daylight comes and the morning star rises in your hearts.
1 Peter 1:19
Imagine with me for minute that power has gone out and all of a sudden everything is pitch black. There is a moment of panic that ensues, whether we like it or not. We like to be able to see and we like to know what’s going on. Sometimes our lives get crazy and the light of Jesus seems to go out doesn’t it? It’s not that God has left us. It’s that we have turned our attention to other things. Share about a time when it seemed like the light of Jesus wasn’t visible for you. Peter reminds us that on our journey, we must pay attention until light comes and the morning star (Jesus) rises in our hearts.
God, whether our days are full of light or a bit darker than we would like, help us to focus on you. AMEN.
