ABUNDANT LOVE
The word Advent means “coming.” At Christmas, we remember and celebrate the story of Jesus’ first coming, but we also look ahead with anticipation to the day when He will return at His second coming. This week, we’ll focus on the LOVE that the coming of Jesus brings.
The LORD is compassionate and merciful, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. Psalm 103:8 NLT
Take a deep breath and pray Psalm 103:8 back to God- “Lord, You are compassionate and merciful, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.”
Take another breath and pray it again, inserting yourself- “The LORD is compassionate and merciful toward me, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.”
Take another slow, deep breath. Sit with your eyes closed and be still in the truth of God’s love for you.
Pause to Pray: Praise God for His love and talk to Him about whatever you are thinking and feeling as you sit with Him right now.
Take a Next Step: Take God’s love with you wherever you go! How might someone experience His love through you today?

About this Plan
The holidays bring excitement and busyness, sweet moments and chaos, blessing and frustration. In the hustle, bustle, merry, and bright, we’re looking expectantly for perfect presents and serene gatherings. The reality often falls short of our expectations. And that’s why celebrating Advent is an important rhythm for our calendars. As you eagerly anticipate Christmas day, find moments to pause and rest in the story of God’s love.
