This Advent season is proving to be one of great preparation for me. And well it should be. Advent is the season in which we prepare our hearts for the coming of the Christ, our Saviour. Perhaps more than any other Advent season, this year is allowing me to prepare myself by looking into my heart, which is in turn the catalyst for driving me to Christ and the miracle of his birth.
As I ponder the hardness of heart, the lack of grace, and my critical nature in general, I recognize a darkness in my spirit that is devoid of life and warmth. Despite my greatest efforts I can not fill this void or add heat to my cold heart. Only God, through Christ, is able
And so I pray that this season of lights proves to be a season in which my dark heart is illuminated by His grace, love, and sacrifice. Praise be to God, for his gift of Light and Life, and may His Spirit cause me to make straight in the desert of my heart a highway for our God.

I have the feeling that there is something in your heart which isn't expressed...maybe an event which you can't get past. I will pray that Christ will enter and make you whole again. Thank God for little Omari, a precious light in your lives. Blessings.
