One of Called Magazine's Favorite Fall Releases When was the last time you took a break to experience God's love? To experience something is to live it, to encounter it, to understand it, to explore with our hearts, minds, and souls as well as with the five physical senses and our God-given spiritual ones. Every action we do with and for God, every good day and bad day, we walk hand-in-hand with God, experiencing Him. Experiencing God's love takes time. Love unfurls its blossoms in our lives when we concentrate all of our senses on the small gifts we pass by every day. Time slows, and we finally get to hear God's beautiful background hum to our lives. The One Year Experiencing God's Love Devotional helps you intentionally carve out those moments in your day to savor God and his love for you.
