‘What do you want?’

The question that confronts us in advent! But can it ever be a Christian question? Seems to me it is one of the pitfalls of a Christmas Season defined by commerce rather than by Christ.

But for all of us who seek to be lights reflecting the beauty of God in Christ, the question has to be translated into, ‘What does He want?’

And the answer is simple. He looks for receptivity to His love, radiated into our lives by the Holy Spirit. Obedience to His will, patterned in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. Service to others in His name, as a child delights in doing the will of a Father they adore.

Let is be to me, according to Your Word.
