Think it out

  • The king’s enemy ate at his table like a son. Imagine what sitting at God’s banquet table will be like. Whatever you imagined isn’t even close!

  • For a deeper look at God’s “Hesed” love, watch this video.

Talk it out

  • Picture someone you struggle to love. Now imagine honoring them like royalty. What stirs in your heart? Why do you think that is?

  • What covenants have you vowed to honor? How does keeping them display loyal love?

Live it out

  • Find someone who has nothing to offer you. How can you lavish love on them this week?

  • Daily lift up “How deep the Father’s Love for Us” as a personalized prayer this week.
