God’s ways are not our ways—a fact for which I am eternally grateful. And yet: I don’t really understand His love for us—it doesn’t make any more sense to me than what He told Hosea to do. But that’s OK. I choose to trust Him anyway—and I know that He will not lead me astray. That’s evidence of Advent PEACE!

The fountain of forgiveness has been opened for all believers. And if you cleanse yourself through faith in that fountain, surely Advent HOPE & the subsequent promises to God's people, are yours as well!

Father, expand our vision to see the world as you see it. Please make us less like Jonah & more like Jesus. Grant us a fresh concern for those we meet. Renew in us a compassion for those who by nature would be repulsive to us.
