We know that God loves us—but sometimes the most familiar truths are the ones we need to slow down and really see again.In 1 John 4:9–10, John points us to the clearest demonstration of God's love: He sent His Son so that we might live through Him. This is love—not that we loved God first, but that He loved us and sent Jesus as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.In this Memory Moment, we'll reflect on the wonder of the gospel, the story behind How Deep the Father's Love for Us, and why the cross gives us something certain to hold onto when circumstances tempt us to question God's love.Plus, hear about the upcoming Memory Accelerator Program (MAP), a six-week journey designed to help you build a lasting Scripture memory habit.Join the Memory Accelerator Program waitlist here https://www.biblememorygoal.com/map/Download the list of all 52 verses for this year: https://www.biblememorygoal.com/52-verses

What does it really mean to be called a child of God?The words of 1 John 3:1 may be familiar, but John invites us to stop and truly see the incredible love behind them: “See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!”In this Memory Moment, we’ll reflect on what our identity as God’s children gives us: security, belonging, and an identity that isn’t dependent on the approval of the world around us.We’ll also look at who Scripture says can be called a child of God and why knowing whose we are matters when the world doesn’t understand us.Don’t let familiar words become ordinary words. Stop and see the great love of the Father. And remember: if you belong to Christ, you are a child of God.And that is what we are.Plus, hear about the upcoming Memory Accelerator Program (MAP), a six-week journey designed to help you build a lasting Scripture memory habit.Join the Memory Accelerator Program waitlist here https://www.biblememorygoal.com/map/Download the list of all 52 verses for this year: https://www.biblememorygoal.com/52-verses

What is the heart of God toward His people when they have wandered?In Malachi 3:17, God describes His people as His “treasured possession” and gives us a tender picture of a father showing compassion to his son. These words are especially powerful when we remember their context: Israel had dishonored God, yet He was still calling them to return.In this Memory Moment, we’ll explore the compassion of our heavenly Father and connect Malachi’s words with the Father Jesus reveals to us: the Father who sees the returning child, is moved with compassion, and welcomes him home.Plus, hear about the upcoming Memory Accelerator Program (MAP), a six-week journey designed to help you build a lasting Scripture memory habit.Join the Memory Accelerator Program waitlist here https://www.biblememorygoal.com/map/Download the list of all 52 verses for this year: https://www.biblememorygoal.com/52-verses
