Then ask yourself the following questions to prepare yourself to embrace Advent:

 

• Have you ever thought about Jesus  (while He was with God in the beginning) having all the fullness of LOVE within the Trinity?  What does this mean for you?
• Before Creation, did He need to come in order for LOVE to be present everywhere?
• How do you feel about in the total void before Creation, LOVE yet existed?
• What did Jesus gain by coming here?  What did He give up?
• Philippians 2: 5 Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, 7 but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death– even death on a cross! 9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
