Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
1 John 4:8

Steps on Your Journey to Know God More Intimately:

• Agape is unconditional love. Think about God’s love. It is not just what He does. Love is who He is.
• Meditate on what the following verses say about God’s love. What is God saying to you through them?

Psalm 57:10: “For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies.”

Psalm 107:21: “Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind.”

Psalm 103:11: “For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him.”

• Think about how high the heavens are above the earth. How can you even measure the distance? That’s how much God loves you.
• The Bible is filled with stories of His love for us. It is God’s love story to us. I want to encourage you to take the time daily to read some of God’s love story for you.

A Prayer for You:

God, thank You that You are love. Thank You that I can depend on You, because You love me with an unfailing love. Thank You that Your love for me is so much greater than I can even begin to imagine. Teach me to understand and know Your amazing, great love for me.

Blessings on you as you get to know God more intimately,
