Jan 2
“If you love people, and you point them to the love of God, you are fulfilling your purpose.”
We hesitate to commit to a relationship with Jesus out of fear that He does not love us. But God already loves you beyond comparison. Once we discover that we are searching for his love, we won’t have to seek anywhere else to find our fulfillment.
