Advent allows us to recover during this four-week journey. It begins four Sundays before Christmas all the way up to Christmas. It lets us breath in those moments of faithfulness and helps us recognize that God is working.

Simply by our proximity to Jesus, we can bring hope and life to people and places trapped in discouragement and despair.

God is always seeking you. Every sunset. Every clear blue sky. Each ocean wave. The starry hosts of night. He blankets each new day with the invitation, ‘I am here.’

It's a big world. Don't get trapped by tiny dreams and feeble problems. Time for big prayers and bold faith.

Limit your thinking and expectation today to only the things God can do.

Yet, Jesus is selfless in the way He gives His life away for you. So if your gaze is on Him, you will treat others as He is treating you.

Advent is the season that can remind us God is working while we're waiting and we're really waiting with God.
