Karoline writes...
"You belong. When we cast discipleship as being one whom Jesus loves, it changes the focus of the conversation. Discipleship becomes less about what we have to do. Instead, it flows from our state of belonging. Discipleship emanates from being found. Discipleship becomes first about what Jesus has offered you and not about how you can get Jesus to love you. It sounds different to say discipleship is being loved by Jesus, to belong with Jesus, than discipleship is being a follower of Jesus, doesn't it?"
(an excerpt from Belonging: 5 Keys to Unlock your Potential as a Disciple)
