Reflection 12-4-25
Romans 13:11 & 12
And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is nearly over; the day is almost here.
“The Lord is coming, always coming.
When you have ears to hear and eyes to see, you will recognize him at any moment of your life.
Life is Advent; life is recognizing the coming of the Lord.” -Henri Nouwen
Reflection
The Advent season is here. A time of anticipatory waiting in darkness. An active waiting. Advent acknowledges the already-and-not-yet nature of the Kingdom of God.
We invite you today to read the verses and quote above. Asking God to open the eyes and ears of your heart, spend time in quiet wondering about the coming of the Lord. How might you recognize the coming of the Lord in your own life today?
