Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.”  And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:  “Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!” (Luke 2:8-14 NKJV)

Dear Father, thank You for the gift of Love that binds us together as one body in Christ. I pray for love and unity in my family, community, and the body of Christ this season. May Your love inspire us to care for one another deeply. Lord, please help us to forgive quickly and embrace each other with open hearts. Where there is division, bring reconciliation. Let the love You have shown us through Jesus overflow in our relationships. I ask that You make us instruments of peace and unity wherever we go. May Your love be evident in all we do and say. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
