Love For The Weary

Dec 21, 2025    Matt Eckhardt

This exploration of Mary's Magnificat in Luke 1:46-55 reveals a revolutionary truth that challenges everything we've been taught about earning love. We discover that the most important moment in the Christmas story isn't Mary's obedience, the angels' announcements, or even the shepherds' faith—it's God's decision to act first. Before anyone does anything, God chooses. As we light the candle of love this Advent season, we're invited to stop striving and start trusting that we're already deeply loved, not because of what we've done, but because of who God is.
