On this Christmas Eve, as we remember the shepherds, who were first to hear the good news of Christ’s birth, and the heavenly host proclaiming peace and joy, let us reflect on the space we make for Jesus in our lives. Though there was no room in the inn for Him that night, may our hearts be open and filled with His presence. As we light our candles, we celebrate the Light of the World who has come to bring joy and peace. Let us be joyful, pray earnestly, and with open hearts, invite Jesus to shine brightly within us this Christmas, filling us with His love and grace.

About this Plan
This 25-day Advent devotional was created from CornerstoneSF's video devotional series, Rise & Shine.

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.
