Isaiah 56:1-3, 6-8. John 6:33-36

Listen for the Father's word within your heart and mind. Look for His love revealed in man and nature in His world. Glorify Him in His world and in the manifestations of His love in all things and all people. Identify with His word and with His love in all things and rejoice with them in fellowship and worship.

But realise, too, that Love speaks in judgement in the soul and in community. Pray that Our Holy Spirit illumine the hearts and minds of all faithful to the Father's will and loving purpose that the one and many give themselves afresh to the Father's Word Incarnate and Incarnate Love this Christmastide.

So both individual and community will be cleansed, refreshed and strengthened in the power of out saving, sanctifying love to serve the Father afresh in His most glorious world.
