“Love means following his commandments, and his unifying commandment is that you conduct your lives in love. This is the first thing you heard, and nothing has changed.” 2 John 6 The Message

What is changing your life today…?

There are endless offers of life-changing promises awaiting you today. You can ingest promises that “promise”  to make your inside life feel better. You can apply promises that “promise” to fix your outside life. You can even promise yourself that things will get better … turn the corner … or will turn out for good. There is Only One Promiser whose promises have never failed … always forgives … extravagantly fills. His greatest promise for you today is that His love is the “one thing” you need … that you can never purchase … that He gives freely … that will never run out. Jesus wants to make your life whole … filled … complete … unified … and planted firmly in His love. He will pour this same love through your life … the dry areas … the neglected areas … the abused areas … the unforgiven areas … the worn out areas … the rejected areas … the self-hatred areas … and more and more and more! With Jesus … “nothing has changed” in how he sees you today. It only takes a moment to receive and breathe His promise for your life today…

“And I ask that with both feet planted firmly on love, you’ll be able to take in with all followers of Jesus the extravagant dimensions of Christ’s love. Reach out and experience the breadth! Test its length! Plumb the depths! Rise to the heights! Live full lives, full in the fullness of God.” Ephesians 3:18-19 The Message
