We can have the same confidence of God’s love for us that John had when he acknowledged that he was "the disciple whom Jesus loved" (Jn 13:23).

“What’s Love Got To Do With It?” John 13:23 If you were to guess, what do you think is the one thing in life a person wants more than anything else? Fame, wealth, beauty, status, power, position?

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Mar 10, 2021
