Advent Devotional for December 10th

"We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose."
- Romans 8:28

"Marvel at our contrary orbits.  Mine
salutes yours, wherever we pass or cross,
which may be now, might very well be now."
- Geoffrey Hill, Scenes from Comus

What does it mean to love God?
It means embracing with joy God's free gift of love;
It means denying the selfish devices and desires of our own hearts; It means running forward to meet each other at the frontiers of our being.  What do you think it means?

(St. Martin-in-the-fields Advent Devotional, 2005)
