As we approach Christmas, we see God’s transforming work in lives surrendered to His will—in joyful prayers for a pure and willing heart. God blesses the hearts that seek Him with reverence and dependence, ready to be led and renewed. In this season of giving, we too can open our hearts to His leading, allowing His love to shape our actions and responses. Are there ways we can embody a servant’s heart this Christmas? Perhaps by extending kindness, offering our time, or sharing a word of hope, we can reflect His love and join in His work.
About this Plan
This 25-day Advent devotional was created from CornerstoneSF's video devotional series, Rise & Shine. With videos every day except Sundays, this devotional invites us to open our hearts and prepare for the coming of Jesus. It will begin broadly and then focus deeply on Mary’s experience, highlighting how her humility, faith, and openness paved the way for Christ’s birth. Through her example, we are encouraged to cultivate a heart ready to receive the Savior, embracing His love and presence in our lives.
