The beauty of Advent is the realization of God who comes to us. He has always been the One to hear the cry of his people. He has always been the One to take up the cause of those who call out to him.

He is the God who hears. He will come to us.

⁶ In my distress I called to the Lord;
I cried to my God for help.
From his temple he heard my voice;
my cry came before him, into his ears. (Ps. 18:6, NIV)
