1. Freedom is the fruit of living loved. How would your everyday life look different if your interactions reflected God’s love (goodwill) for you?
2. Read John 13:23. When you think about your relationship with Jesus, do you relate more to Peter (the disciple who loved Jesus) or John (the disciple whom Jesus loved)? Why?
3. Read 1 John 4:18. Perfect love drives out fear. Where is fear showing up in your life right now – in thoughts, decisions, or relationships? What does God’s love want to remind you of in that place?
4. God’s love isn’t something we just learn about – it’s a revelation and encounter with the presence of God. As you read Romans 8:38-39, what is the Holy Spirit showing you?

PRAY
Take a moment to breathe, then pray Ephesians 3:17-19 together. As you read it slowly, ask the Holy Spirit to help each of you grasp more of His love, not just with your mind but with your heart.
I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together
with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of
Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge – that you may be filled to
the measure of all the fullness of God.
