Let Every Heart Prepare Him Room: Daily Family Devotions for Advent

Top Highlights

“We are preparing for Christmas by purposefully nurturing in our hearts and in our homes a sacred longing for Christ to come.” (source)

“The season leading up to Christmas is called Advent, which means coming” (source)

“The reason we celebrate Christmas is that we are still blown away by the incredible news that God became a baby that night in Bethlehem. And when we grow in our understanding of what this means, we begin to experience the great joy the angels talked about.” (source)

“Though it is hard to wait on God, and though it sometimes seems to us that God is slow, God’s timing is always perfect. He is never late. He always acts at just the right time.” (source)

“Some people think anything having to do with God is very serious and could never be outrageously happy. They assume that doing things for God, studying about God, going to church and worshiping God, or even just thinking about God will be really boring and no fun. But Jesus is not a bore or a burden; he’s not a drag or drudgery. Jesus is the greatest joy in the universe! He’s the best news anyone has ever heard! In fact, nothing in all the world can give people as much joy as Jesus can.” (source)
