Advent Message to My Own Soul

Grow & be blessed as you wait.
Let His Mercy and His Grace abound.
The Lord Who is God Himself, has come
& is to come again. Jesus, Who came as an
infant, born of a Virgin, is our Savior & will
come again as Judge of all mankind. Believe.
O my soul, believe! Let Faith grow &
me act on His Promises! Obey. Obey & give
to others, for God has given much to you.
Love for the sake of Love Himself.
Let His Mercy and His Grace increase.
Spread this Hope by your life—
by your words, by your smile, by your silent
prayer. Remain steadfast in all you do. Claim
what peace God has given you. Work. Work
hard. Sing while you work. Sing God’s praises.
Rest will come soon enough. Rejoice! Rejoice
for the Lord has come & will come again.
The Lord has come & will come again!
Surely His Mercy and His Grace are forever.
