…you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, Abba! Father!
Abba! Father!
During the Christmas season we have sung, “O Come, let us adore Him,” but what is our adoration really like?
Is our adoration wholehearted – or is it half-hearted?
Is our adoration hot – or it is cold or lukewarm?
Is our adoration constant – or is it fitful?
Is our adoration independent of circumstances – or dependent on circumstances?
Is our adoration unreserved – or reserved?
Is our adoration generous – or frugal?
Is our adoration heart-felt – or routine?
Is our adoration vulnerable – or protective?
Is our adoration unconditional – or conditional?
Is our adoration loving – or legalistic?
Is our adoration joyful – or joyless?
Is our adoration genuine – or feigned?
O, Lord God, You are worthy of perfect and unsurpassed adoration. Grant us grace to examine ourselves. Increase our love for You, O Lord.
Amen.
