Dwell Differently How Do We Live In Love? // Debra Fileta
“God’s love is so different from the relationships we have in this world, where there’s always the expectation of giving and receiving. God is love. He is the epitome of love. There’s nothing I have to do to engage in the process, or give back. I just receive it. It’s almost hard for the brain to compute, but there’s something really special about that.” — Debra Fileta
This month’s memory verse: “And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.” — 1 John 4:16
Today’s podcast: Natalie and Debra are digging into our verse for this month: 1 John 4:16. Listen in for a conversation about what it means that God is love, how Jesus comes to give us a new identity in him, and the absolute confidence we can have in the love of God for us.
Our February Dwell guest: Meet Debra Fileta, a Licensed Professional Counselor and the author of 5 books on the topics of dating, marriage, love, and healthy relationships (see links below). Her heart for Jesus informs her work, her writing, and her conversation with us about what love is.
