Towards The Light: An Advent Journey - Day 10 Clear Clutter

Advent Day 10 invites you to consider what distractions or burdens are crowding your heart and mind this Advent season. Drawing on the imagery of preparing a space for Christ, it reflects on the spiritual practice of decluttering—not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually. By letting go of what no longer serves, you can create room for God’s presence to dwell more fully in your life. This is an opportunity to pause, reassess, and prepare your heart as sacred ground for the coming of Emmanuel.

Reviews

Every day of this Advent journey Towards the Light is material for a week of reflection. Mark brings each topic to life in a gentle, peaceful way that inspires me. These will be well worth revisiting throughout the year.

Thank you. The message about Martha and Mary is an all time favorite as I’m so like Martha but want to be more like Mary. This week we’re gathering for the angel tree at church and I committed to giving up several items of my Dad’s that are needed…he passed 8 years ago and I know he’d be happy for someone to be warm in his coat, hat, scarf,etc…clearing for the good🙏

I am enjoying this advent. I agree with another reviewer that revisiting this in print form would be nice. Clutter has been a battle for me through the years, and as I clear the mental clutter, the physical clutter also seems to be improving. I love how you make that connection here.

Thank you

"Make space for something holy ... " That idea makes it easier for me to consider what to let go of today, and do it. Thanks! 💝🙏

Love love ❤️ this beautiful meditation. I’m reflecting on Hebrews 12:1-2 AND on clearing clutter mentally, emotionally and physically to be make space for God. Yes and thank you 🙏🏼
