Advent Day 22 | 2024 | A Celebration of Generosity
Welcome to Advent—a season of fierce grace and unyielding joy. Stop. Breathe it in. The King has come, triumphing over the grave and reigning on high. Together, let’s follow the trail of His glory, stepping into the story of the Child who broke the back of darkness and carried the weary to freedom. May these devotions be a lantern for your path and a spark for your wonder.
Christmas is a season of giving, but it’s more than just exchanging presents. It’s a reflection of God’s ultimate gift—His Son. The generosity of God is unmatched; He gave not out of obligation but out of overflowing love. And He calls us to do the same.
The wise men brought gifts to honor Christ. The shepherds gave their time and attention to celebrate His birth. The early church shared what they had with one another in response to God’s grace. As we celebrate Christmas, we are reminded that true generosity flows from a heart filled with gratitude.
Advent calls us to give—not just gifts but ourselves. Our time, our love, our presence. As we reflect on the inexpressible gift of Christ, let’s respond with acts of generosity that point others to Him.
Prayer
Lord, thank You for the gift of Your Son. Teach me to reflect Your generosity in my life, giving not out of obligation but out of love. Help me to point others to You through the way I give. Amen.
