About The Promises of Advent
The first advent of Jesus came with hope for the second and with powerful promises we can cling to as we wait. We have . . .
- Hope in heaven
- Peace in trials
- Love for our enemies
- Joy in Christ’s glory
- And the promise that He will come again as King of Kings
Through morning scripture meditation, afternoon breath prayers, and evening reflection, your weary heart will find a reason to rejoice again.
Or at least that’s my prayer for you this Christmas.
May your soul thrive,
If you come today lonely, welcome. The babe born in the company of beasts of burden joins you. If you come weary, welcome. The traveling preacher with a stone for a pillow rests with you. If you come today grieving, welcome. The man of sorrows cries for the ache of his friends with you. If you come today broken, welcome. The Lamb of God takes the beating for you.
