For thousands of years, God spoke through prophets, angels, and priests. But when Jesus came, everything changed. He didn't send another messenger - He came Himself.
The leper approached Jesus, ashamed and isolated, saying "If you're willing, you can heal me." Jesus didn't step back. He didn't send someone else. He reached out, TOUCHED him, and said "I am willing."
This is Advent. This is Immanuel - God WITH us. Not God far from us. Not God waiting for you to clean up your mess first. He's standing at the door of your heart, ready to move into your situation exactly as it is.
Stop trying to fix everything before you invite Him in. He wants to come close to you TODAY - in your mess, in your shame, in the parts you keep hidden. When Jesus moves in, everything changes.
Where do you need Jesus to come close in your life today?
He's not waiting for the perfect moment. He's saying "I am willing" right now.
