Most Christians would quickly answer "yes" to the question, "Do you believe Jesus loves you?" But when asked, "Has Jesus' love truly captured your heart? Is His love the greatest influence on your daily living?" far fewer could answer, "yes" with the same confidence. The truth is, many believers have never fully experienced Jesus' love in a way that reaches the depths of their hearts.

Could you ever imagine knowing yourself, as the apostle John did, as "the disciple whom Jesus loves"? For many, that feels out of reach.

When we think about discipleship, our minds often go to gaining knowledge, studying Scripture, getting involved in ministry, and aligning our lives with Jesus' teachings. All of this is vital-but somewhere along the way, the transformation of the heart has been quietly pushed to the back burner.

Live Loved restores "Growing into Jesus' Love" to its rightful and essential place at the center of life with Jesus. Knowing the love of Christ deeply is, of course, a gift from God. But we can learn to open ourselves-to make space in the innermost places of our being-for His love to take root and flourish.

Read this as an invitation and a guide to receive, to experience, and to grow into the life-changing, heart-transforming love of Jesus.
