The Kid: An Advent Devotional for Middle SchoolersNäide

Have you ever shared a story and felt understood when someone said, "Yeah, I know what you mean"? That connection brings comfort. As humans, we find that same comfort in Jesus. He came to the world as a kid, experiencing life as we do—broken friendships, rejection, isolation, family problems, the loss of friends, persecution, and pain. Whatever we go through, we can turn to Jesus, who truly understands and loves us.

This week, remember that Jesus understands every part of what you are experiencing, including the best and the worst moments. Spend time in prayer, sharing what you’re going through this season with Him and asking for His love and comfort to help you in it.
