1 John 4:9 - "This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him."
The day after Christmas often brings to mind leftovers, remnants of the previous day's feasting. Just as these leftovers provide nourishment, the love God displayed through Jesus continues to sustain and nourish our souls.
Jesus' birth, life, death, and resurrection are not just events of the past but a continuous outpouring of God's love. This love remains abundant, reminding us of His sacrificial act and calling us to live our lives in response to that immeasurable love.
Reflection Questions
1. How do you experience the 'leftovers' of God's love in your daily life?
2. How can you share the sustaining love of God with others, especially in the post-Christmas season?
Morning Prayer
Lord, thank You for the continuous nourishment of Your love. As I move forward from the Christmas celebrations, let Your love be the force that drives my actions and decisions, and help me to share that love with all I meet. Amen.
