The Kid: An Advent Devotional for Middle Schoolersनमूना

What’s the best gift you’ve ever given at Christmas? The one you knew was perfect and couldn’t wait for them to open? You were excited for their reaction and the recognition you'd get for picking it. Our culture often values the glory of doing good things. However, when that becomes our motivation, we miss the point. God didn’t come to the world in a flashy way but as Jesus, born quietly to ordinary people. This act of humility showed us true love in action. God came to serve, love, and save us, not for attention or glory, but to demonstrate what genuine love looks like.

This week, think about one area of your life where you could put someone else first. Who can you serve and love this holiday season, not for the attention and thanks you’d get but simply to show them the love of God?
