ADVENT DEVOTIONS - Part 2 of 4 - Dec 8-14, 2025
Poem and Meditation by Michele Harris
Sometimes
The chasm
Of God’s extremes
Wells up
In the corner
Of my eyes
And swells
For
A
Long
Time
Before
The tear
Falls
And reabsorbs
Into
My skin
Lord, sometimes your incomprehensible mystery and power split our hearts with elemental force. You stand in the tension between these two extremes of blessing and loss. Just as you wept at the grave of Lazarus while holding the power of his resurrection in your hands.
The war between spiritual barrenness and fruitfulness in any season of our lives is decided by our answer to the Lord’s question: Who do you say I am? Matt 16:15b

ADVENT DEVOTIONS - Part 1 of 4 - December 1-7, 2025
Awaken me to your presence,
Alert me to your love,
Affirm me in your peace.
Open to me your way,
Reveal to me your joy,
Enfold me in your light.
For my heart is ready,
Lord, my heart is ready.
Written by David Adams
