December 23: ADVENT

Title: Your Redemption is Drawing Near

Opening Quote:
“Look up, you whose gaze is fixed on this earth… Wait just another short moment. Wait and something quite new will break over you: God will come.” – Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Hi there!
It’s so easy to get caught up in what’s right in front of us—our problems, our plans, our distractions. Advent is our reminder to look up and fix our eyes on the One who is coming to redeem us.

Luke 21:28 says, “When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”

Reflection:
What’s keeping you from looking up? Take time today to shift your gaze from your worries to Jesus.

Action:
Take a walk and look up—literally and spiritually. Let the beauty of creation remind you of God’s presence.
