Xo̱jo̱n Salmoo̱ 85:10

As believers, we are called to a lifetime of walking and talking with Him. As I explored the Gospel of John, God began to cultivate conversation and prayer from His heart to mine. My hope is that as you read through this devotional, you too will linger in His presence and allow His Word to become a divine conversation-starter.

Advent invites us to journey through the darkness to discover the light, the incarnate Word of God who "shines in the darkness" (John 1:5). This plan focuses upon the weekly themes of Advent—hope, peace, joy, and love—and serves as a guide through each week of the season. It is taken from our book, Dawn, with reflections for every day of Advent available within the Dwell Bible App.

The love of God is steadfast, irrevocable, and exactly what we are looking for, even if we do not know it. In this plan we are going to discover the many aspects of the love of God for us. The true meaning of love and how it affects our lives in ways that will change us forever.
