Advent is a unique season for those of us that love and are loved by Jesus. We look back over the year, or years, and remember all the ways we have put our hope in the compassionate and gracious God. We look forward and imagine the way things will be when that hope is made manifest in the return of our Savior and King.

Looking back and looking forward while we are here. 'Stuck' in between; stuck in the "already, not yet." That 'stuck-ness' can be uncomfortable and challenging. How do we keep up our strength for hoping? We find our strength for today in the faithfulness of Emmanuel, who did not leave us alone in the in-between but gave us the gift of the Holy Spirit so that Jesus and the Father could come and make their home with us:

What an incredible gift! The gift of God's very presence with us always! At First Loved we are convinced that this gift is meant to be experienced, enjoyed, and shared with all those we love. With that in mind, we want to share a gift of our own with you— "Focus: Loving the Jesus Way," the first video in our Loving as Loved module. We want you to know that we love you and want you to experience and enjoy our gift, but so much more we want you to experience and enjoy being loved by God through the presence and the power of the Holy Spirit.
