Redemption Is Coming Near

________

Today’s Reflection

DURING ADVENT we keep our eyes and our hearts open for the coming Christ. Fearless and hopeless people might huddle in the dark with eyes closed against coming destruction. But we as people of hope excitedly await the dawn of Christmas morning. We stand on tiptoe, peering through the darkness to glimpse the gifts of God. Indeed, we stand up tall and raise our heads, for our redemption is coming near.
Prayer:
God, may we watch and wait in joy for the coming of our redemption. Eagerly we pray:Come, Lord Jesus, come. Amen.
