This Advent Season

A time of reflection
of looking inward
at the priorities of my life
of what I hold dear

Waiting in Advent
for the coming Christ-child
for the promise of His return
at the end of the age

What am I doing
am I truly focused
do I hear His calling
and follow His Word

What must I change
to follow the Christ-child
this God that poured out
His awesome holiness

Walking as a servant
to the people
humbly going to the cross
to set His people free

How can I prepare
my heart for the kingdom
the world for the harvest
when He comes again

What should I be doing
right not, this instant
to further the kingdom
a harvest for the Lord
