| 0:00.0 | In today's for Sotine Podcast, we're going to create space to talk about and receive God's great gift of love. You and I were made to be loved by God, and until we make room to receive |
| 0:16.8 | the unselfish, steadfast, tangible love of God, we'll spend the rest of our life striving, vying for affection from others. |
| 0:25.0 | May striving cease today as we receive the lavish affection of our good and loving God. The scripture at the foundation of today's devotional comes from |
| 0:38.5 | 1st John 419. God's word says we love because he first loved us. |
| 0:45.0 | You need to experience the love of God. |
| 0:50.0 | The single most important part of your day is receiving the love of your heavenly father. |
| 0:55.2 | Without being loved by God, you can't fully love him or others. |

| 1:25.1 | without being loved by him first. |
| 1:28.2 | And what's more, God's desires to completely overwhelm you with his love right now. He doesn't want to love you |
| 1:35.1 | just so you love him back or love others around you. Loving God and others is a |
| 1:40.0 | natural byproduct of receiving God's love. He loves you just because he loves you. |
| 1:46.1 | He longs for you to live a lifestyle of love because he knows that's the absolute |
| 1:51.8 | most fulfilling, purposeful, and peaceful way of life for you. |
| 1:56.6 | He longs to set you free from the burdens of living for your own gain. |
| 2:01.2 | He longs to lead you to the path of abundant life, but it all starts with simply receiving |
| 2:06.6 | his love. |
