The Daily Dose #0091

Advent reminds you that waiting is not passive but active. Preparing for Christ means to live with purpose, seek holiness, and share His love with others. Align your life with His promises and let each day reflect your anticipation of His return. True waiting is marked by action, faith, and devotion.

Are you preparing your heart and life for Christ, or letting distraction drive your thoughts and emotions? Are you watching and waiting expectantly? Let your actions reflect the hope and joy of His coming, and live each moment as though He might return today because, he just might.

"Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect."
— Matthew 24:44
