S1 Advent is a time of preparation, often involving repentance. Malachi 3:2-3 describes Jesus as “the Lord you are seeking...whom you desire...”. Pour out your heart and tell King Jesus how you desire Him. The passage then goes on “But who can endure the day of his coming? Who can stand when he appears?” Remind yourself that the reason you can stand before God is because of King Jesus’ death and resurrection. Confess your sins and receive His forgiveness.
