I have long considered myself a student of the love of God. I have traveled all across the world, seen many kinds of people, and many kinds of culture. The one constant, the one thing that crosses all barriers, translates in all languages, and overcomes all resistance, is the love of God. His love covers a multitude of sin. His love is patient. His love is kind. His love is the final authority over all mankind. His love is the completion of our salvation. His love is the reason. His love is our hope. His love is always pointed at us. I share this book as a declaration of love. It is a testament of how passionate His love is for His people, how hungry he is to release His love, and how far His love is willing to go. I hope that, in reading this book, you find yourself in a deeper place of connection with His love, inspired to share His love with others, and ready to embrace His love as it begins to cover every part of the earth. I have included personal application activities at the end of each chapter. These are no arbitrary exercises, but tools to begin stretching your capacity to experience the love of God. It is my sincere hope that you take these lessons of love out of the book and into your life. I believe that we are in a season of unprecedented potential harvest. All we need are the eyes to see what God has laid out before us. I have designed every personal application to train your body and soul to recognize the love of God in your life and in the lives of others. Finally, I hope that you will not read this book alone. Your heavenly Father is with you and always has been. He is ready to speak His words of love directly to your heart, more clearly and profoundly than the hand of any writer could. Be listening to Him. He is ready to begin transforming your life with His love, so that you can partner with Him and transform the world.
