Ten readings in, perhaps with a few gaps. Before you grade your progress, stop at the invitation in 1 John 3: look at the love God has given. We can rush past that sentence on our way to the next spiritual assignment.
John opens with a command: see. Stop and look. God's love is so unlike ours that it takes a second look to see it. Later John writes, "We love because he first loved us" (4:19). Love flows downhill. You can't generate enough love for God to earn His love.
You receive His, and yours rises in response. Ten days of foundation. Look back at your journal, cross-outs and all. Any shift, even a small one, is a root going down.
Let the reading meet your day
We love because God loved first. That order takes the pressure off your ability to generate warm feelings on command. Receive, respond, return. Look back at this first stretch and notice a truth you want to keep. A missed day doesn't erase it. Bring that truth into your next ordinary conversation and let love move outward.
A question to sit with
Which truth about God's love has begun to change the way I see myself?
You can take this slowly.
