Advent Devotion - December 6th


9th Day of Advent
Written by: Kay St. Pierre

Reading: John 1:6-8
There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe.”
John 1:6-7

Advent is such a wonderful time for us to remember that we, as followers of Jesus Christ have the privilege of reflecting His Light to a weary world. As mere mortals, we could not bear the full blazing glory of His presence, but we can point others to the knowledge of His love for us and His desire for a lasting relationship with us. During this season, as we prepare to again celebrate the birth of our Savior, let’s reflect His presence in all we say and do - all for His greater glory!

Sweet Jesus - Help us to remember that we are not the light, but we can be the reflection of Your glorious light. This Advent, please humble us to be ready for the celebration of the greatest gift this world has ever received. May Your presence in our lives lead others to experience your mercy, your love, and your promise of all your blessings in our lives. Amen.
