Do you find it hard to believe in your heart that you are truly loved by God? Many of us know in our heads that God loves us, but it can be difficult to feel that love deep within. This devotional reading plan is designed to help bridge that gap, inviting you to move from simply understanding God’s love to truly experiencing it in your heart.
Throughout this series, you’ll explore key passages of Scripture that reveal the depth of God’s love for you. You’ll read about how God created you in his image and declared you “very good.” You’ll see how he treasures you, remembers you, and seeks after you with relentless compassion. Even in the midst of failure, pain, or doubt, God’s love remains steadfast—everlasting and abounding.
Through these daily reflections, you’ll uncover what might prevent you from believing you are loved, like fear, shame, or self-doubt. But more importantly, you’ll find encouragement to embrace the truth that God’s love is unconditional, infinite, and unchanging. From his promises to his actions, from the cross to the empty tomb, his love for you is undeniable.
This journey isn’t always easy—traveling the 18 inches from your head to your heart takes time and effort. But it’s worth it. Will you accept God’s invitation to be reminded, restored, and reassured of his love? Let’s embark on this journey together and discover how deeply and truly you are loved by God.
