Love
December 20-21, 2025
Gospel of Luke 1:5-25
Love is a beautiful and mysterious thing, isn’t my little ones?
Love makes us feel so wonderfully warm when it is present but as cold as ice when it disappears.
Love means we want what is best for the other person.
True love is when that person also wants the best for us in return.
Love in its truest form is a circle: it is given and it is received, and a circle doesn’t have an end, it just keeps on going round and round. That is what God’s love for us is like. It just keeps going round and round. The more we accept and return God’s love the bigger our circle gets!
The love God has for us may be confusing if you are expecting Him to just show up at your bedside to kiss you good night. But God surrounds us with His love through our parents, grandparents, family, friends, teachers and even our pets. Wow, our circle of love is getting bigger and bigger, isn’t it??
What a gift. When we celebrate Jesus’s birth it is truly a celebration of that ginormous circle of love.
Who is in your circle of love?
