ADVENT= latin word -‘adventus(ad-ven-tis)
= “Arrival or Coming”
Love,Joy,Hope, Peace
1 John4:7-14 -Dear friends,let us love one another,for love comes from God. .
Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.9 This is how God showed his love among us:
He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him. 10This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us
and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.11Dear friends,since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit.14Andwe have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.
Matthew1:23-“Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel,which means 'God is with us.'”(NLT)

Valleys were also a time of growth
We may enjoy God on the mountaintops,
but we get to know Him intimately in the valleys.
Psalm 84:5-7-Blessed are those whose strength is in You, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.6 As they pass through the Valley of Baka,
they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools.7They go from strength to strength , til leach appears before God in Zion.(NIV)
Psalm 84:5– “Blessed are those whose strength is in You...” (NIV)

If you don’t know God intimately, all you got is all you got.
Psalm 84:5 – “Blessed are those whose strength is in You...”(NIV)
Psalm 84:5– “What joy for those whose strength comes from the LORD, who have set their minds on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem.(NLT)
Colossians3:2 – “Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.”(NIV)

Philippians4:8-And now, dear brothers and sisters,one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true,and honorable, and right,and pure, and lovely,and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. (NLT)
Psalm 84:6-As they pass through the Valley of Baka,they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools.(NIV)
Psalm 23:4– “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me …”(ESV)

“You show me your faith,
I’ll show you My faithfulness.”
God rarely reveals Himself to people who are rushed.
God never promised that we wouldn’t go through the valley.
He promised we’d never have to go through it alone.
Psalm 84:7-They go from strength to strength, till each appears before God in Zion.
I’ll show you My faithfulness.”
