If everything else seems unclear, this is the foundation of our faith. The disciples couldn’t stop telling the story, though it cost them their lives. They didn’t understand or believe at first, but they knew what they saw. Why would they die for a lie?
This is the message the darkness hates. They tried to make Him go away, but they weren’t powerful enough. That’s good news!
He gave His life for ours. ❤️
Worship happens so naturally in nature. Join all of creation in praising the One who made us and loves us!
Take heart! Every act of hatred is also an opportunity to stand with the vulnerable and forgive. We are struck down, but not destroyed. We won’t be overwhelmed with evil, but we will overwhelm evil with good. Light shines in the darkness and the darkness can never extinguish it. That’s how we win!!!
One key to living in freedom is by controlling what we allow our minds to dwell on. We can’t prevent every negative emotion or thought that enters our mind, but we CAN choose our focus. Find life and peace by choosing to focus on things above today!
Peace be with you today as you set your mind on things above.
How would those closest to us at work or home describe us?
This conclusion was drawn by the author John, arguably Jesus’ best friend. John saw Him die and saw Him alive afterwards. He didn’t just conclude “Jesus loved me”.... He said Jesus is God and God is LOVE. He embodied love. Love wasn’t just something He did, but who He was. Wow!
Unity does not require uniformity! Love values diversity and doesn’t depend on requiring each person to share the exact same views. Listen and speak with respect ... everyone believes they are right!
Those who hope in the Lord will NEVER be disappointed!!!
Jesus is always lifting up the children of God in prayer! “He is able to save completely those who come to God through Him, because He always lives to intercede for them.” — Hebrews 7:25
