God loves me and God loves the person who hurts me.

Sometimes it’s tough being a grapevine branch during pruning season!

How amazing that a helpless, innocent, defenseless lamb accomplished what even super-powerful angels couldn’t do!

I think about how I would describe my experience if I got to see what Ezekiel and John saw.

Jesus loves me, this I know! Jesus knows me, this I love!

Jesus is calling you and me back to the simplicity of our first love and of loving first.

Do I acknowledge that Christ-followers whose expression of their faith differs from mine are part of the same Kingdom

I pray for good fortune in everything you do.

Trust steadily in God, hope unswervingly, love extravagantly.

If I place a person or a human relationship in the shrine of my heart, then that person or relationship has taken God’s place.
