These Scriptures to Help You Fall in Love with Jesus go perfectly with the Fall in Love with Jesus Retreat Theme
Many years ago, when I felt lost and alone in my faith after a dear friend died, I began searching for God, for purpose, and for any hope at all that life had meaning.
Even though I feared (temporarily) that God wasn’t real, I prayed every day to Him pleading for relief from the pain I felt in my grief.
One day, as I prayed and thought about my friend’s life, about what he’d taken with him and what he left behind, I was filled with a deep understanding that love was the answer.
The Holy Spirit spoke to my heart and engulfed me with such a deep, passionate love that I knew immediately it was from God.
Feeling His love set me on a quest to learn all I could about it. As I did, the love became a two-way street.
My love for God and for His Son grew exponentially and within that love I understood purpose, to know His love and to share it with everyone I could.
God’s love and my love for Him gave me reason to move forward in my grief.
That’s why I believe it’s so important that we study God’s love for us, learn who His Son is, and nurture and strengthen our relationship with Him.
These scriptures about love will help you start your own journey in falling in love with Jesus. They work perfectly alongside the Fall in Love with Jesus Retreat Theme I have available for free.

As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full. This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. These things I command you, so that you will love one another. – John 15:9-17

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. – Romans 8:37-39
