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.

From his promises to his actions, from the cross to the empty tomb, his love for you is undeniable.
