I did not write this one. It is from the Advent prayers posted on ibelieve.com.
******************************************
Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.
Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.
Luke 2:15
In their travels to see Jesus, the shepherds spread the word of what had happened. We are called to “go and tell” of the good news of Jesus. Just like the shepherds on the night of our Savior’s birth, we are called to go shine light in dark places by speaking of Jesus, and living in such a way that our lives reflect His glory at work in us.
Father,
It costs us to follow Christ, and we often lack courage. Give us a boost of bravery when we need it, to remember the shepherds' awe and how they couldn’t help but spread the good news of Christ’s birth. Let us be so full of Your love that we cannot contain it. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
