Summary
Every single one of us has an innate need to know we’re loved. And yet, so many of us go too many days wondering or unsure of the love our heavenly Father has for us. Today as we continue our week on living for heaven, we’re going to dive into our need to be loved and to love others deeply in order to be successful in this pursuit toward heaven. God doesn’t want you to even go one day without knowing how truly loved you are.
Our Scripture for today comes from John 15:9, and today's worship is This is Love by New Wine Worship.
