The season of Advent is one of waiting for the Lord’s arrival as a baby in a manger. The story of His birth, His coming is miraculous, beautiful and sometimes hard for us to understand. Often, the beauty of the miracle gets lost in the hurry and distractions of the season. Let’s not miss it. Let’s wait with anticipation for what the Lord promises: comfort, joy, wonder and unfailing love.

Every day until Christmas, we’ll send you a devotional about Advent. They are reminders to tune our hearts toward God, the One who gave us the best gift ever: Jesus Christ. They’ll help us pause and remember why we celebrate.

Let’s walk through this season with hearts full of wonder and joy at the thought of the birth of God’s Son.
