ADVENT SPEAKS OF A LONGING DEEP                          

Advent speaks of a longing deep,
A yearning that our hearts do keep.
In daily strife and tears we find,
A hope that heals our aching mind.

Incompleteness, and our daily grind,
Brings a closer peace we long to find.
Each tear we shed, each pain we bear,
Prepares our way with tender care.

Frustration teaches love and grace,
Each longing leads to a sacred place.
In every groan of our despair,
A prayer is born, a whispered care.

Preparing not with lights and cheer,
But with a heart that draws Him near.
To yearn, to pray, to deeply feel,
Creating inner space for Christ to heal.

This season calls us to expand,
Our hearts and minds to understand.
In every act, a womb is made,
Within which Christ’s birth will never fade.

By Medard Laz

“In every groan of our despair,  a prayer is born, a whispered care.”
How have YOU experienced this in YOUR life?

“NORMAL” IS NOT COMING BACK. JESUS IS!
