A Thrill of Hope

Finding Hope, Peace, Joy and Love in the Minor Notes of Christmas . An Advent Devotional for the Grieving Heart

The challenge of advent when life is difficult is the expectations, yearning, and longing it brings. No matter whether the root of our grief is loss because of the death of a loved one, the loss of a relationship, the loss of a job, the loss of a dream, loss and grief can complicate the Christmas season. As you walk through this next Christmas season, allow this devotional to help carry you through this season–that each day will bring you a little more of the hope, peace, joy, and love that a little baby, born in a stable brought with Him so very many years ago.

NEW IN 2025: From the Cradle to the Cross – An Advent Devotional

As we enter the Advent season, we are often drawn to the Gospel of Luke—a story that begins in a humble cradle and leads us to a rugged cross. Luke’s account reminds us that the beauty of Christmas is not found only in celebration but also in reflection—in remembering the God who came near and the love that carried Him all the way to Calvary.

Each chapter of Luke invites us to see Jesus more clearly: in Mary’s quiet faith, the shepherds’ joy, the tenderness of His healing touch, and the grace of His forgiveness. The same Saviour who came to dwell among us is still at work today—bringing light into darkness and hope into weary hearts.

This devotional provides a straightforward approach to engaging with Scripture during the Advent season: reading one chapter of Luke each day, from December 1 to December 24. To help guide your reflection, you’ll be introduced to the SOAP Study Method—Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer.
