Are You Preparing Your Heart for His Coming?
Advent is the beginning of the Christian calendar, and is a season of anticipation. It is a time to remember our Savior came into this world to bring peace unto us, by reconciling the world unto himself. Heaven invaded earth, and He has continued to establish His kingdom ever since. Each day, draw closer to Him, discover more of His goodness, and to let His love transform your heart.
Quiet your heart and prepare for Christ. Open it wide to receive him and all that He has for you this day. Reflect on the wonder of His coming. God came as in infant. A one man army from the smallest of beginnings, and hasn’t stopped recruiting since. You are apart of that army. The Prince of Peace commands you move forward this day in Him. Let us obey.
"And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth."
— John 1:14
