Dear Lord,
We thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus, into this world.
He taught us Your ways, and that we should "above all,
love one another deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins".
We're in awe of how much You love us, that Jesus' ultimate
mission was to give his life for our multitude of sins.
We praise You for the babe in the manger,
the man who taught us and died for us,
and for Your grace and mercy.
In Jesus' holy name we pray.
Amen.
