FOUND in Focus | Ep.64 | God Loves You as Much as He Loves Jesus | John 17:23

What if you truly believed that God loves you as much as He loves Jesus?In this FOUND in Focus devotional, Lorie Hartshorn reflects on one of the most breathtaking truths in all of Scripture: John 17:23. In His final prayer before the cross, Jesus declares that the Father loves His followers just as He loves Him. It's a truth so profound that many of us struggle to fully receive it.Inspired by her conversation with Shaila Visser, this devotional explores what happens when we stop striving for God's approval and begin resting in His love. So many of us spend our lives trying to prove our worth, wondering if we're enough, or believing that God's affection depends on our performance. But the Gospel tells a different story. Before you accomplish anything, before you get everything right, before you feel worthy, you are already deeply loved by God.When this truth takes root in our hearts, it changes everything. We stop living for acceptance and begin living from it. We find freedom from performance, confidence in our identity, and peace in knowing that we belong to Him. God's love is not something you earn—it is something you receive.If you've ever questioned your value, struggled with insecurity, or wondered how God truly feels about you, this devotion is an invitation to see yourself through the eyes of a loving Father. You are not merely tolerated. You are deeply loved, fully known, and forever His.👉 Watch Shaila’s full episode: https://youtu.be/4EcVobrZ6hQ👉 Watch the devotional on Youtube: https://youtu.be/M5CzahHqkXw🔗 Connect with Lorie Hartshorn: Website:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://loriehartshorn.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/loriehartshorn/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.facebook.com/lorieshart⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📢 New episodes every week!Subscribe & share if this conversation inspires you → help us spread hope and healing.🔔 Don’t forget to hit follow to get notified of the next release!
