The Wonder of A Prepared Heart (Wonder)

Being spiritually ready opens us up to experience the fullness of God’s work in our lives—especially at Christmas. Drawing on the stories of Zechariah and Nicodemus, we see two very different responses to God’s surprises. Both men’s journeys remind us that preparation isn’t just about having every detail handled, but about making room in our hearts for God’s presence. Are we missing God’s movement because we’re too distracted or doubtful, or are we eagerly expecting Him to show up? Through the lens of Luke 1 and John 3, we’re invited to trust God’s love, demonstrated through Christ’s birth, life, death, and resurrection, and to ask ourselves what else we need to see before we surrender fully to Him.
