Advent Week 4 2025 - Love

 

The seasons change as God has planned,
The universe aligns.
Yet, all were called forth by His hand.
His wonders and His signs.
 
We stand in this year’s darkest day,
But, with tomorrow’s dawn,
The light half of the year returns
And darkness will move on.
 
It is not fear of the darkness
That lingers on my mind,
But, instead, love and awe for Him
Who can, such forces, bind.
 
Yet, calling light into the dark
Was not a one time thing.
For man can’t always comprehend
The gifts such love can bring.
 
When we forgot who formed it all
Then turned back to the dark,
He sent His Light once more to us,
To rekindle the spark.
 
He stepped down from the infinite,
To be a child of man,
And bring us back into God’s Light.
Fulfilling God’s own plan.
 
The darkest days of winter lay
Upon the lives of those
Who wandered through the cold, dark hills.
Yet, they were who He chose.
 
He sent His angels to sing out
Across the dark of night
And call His children back to grace
By following His Light.
 
Now, each year as the light returns
We’re reminded again
Of love so great, it’s redemptive.
He Is the Light of man.    
 
John 1:4-5 4
In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
