God's Word does provide life lessons to teach us how to live. And it gives us beautiful poetry that gives voice to our human experience. And, yes, it does give us clear boundaries of what we should and shouldn't do so we can live our best lives.

God's love is bigger than our failures and stronger than any chains that bind us.

Because God loves us, he gives us lyrics to sing when our hearts can't form words.

I think God gives us all that in his Word because he's a loving Father.

Our joys will be doubled and our sorrows will be reduced and we will walk our life in community with the body of Christ. When you are with someone else, you are not nearly as willing to give up. So find a friend, be honest and walk together.

Because God loves us, he lets us know exactly how to have access to him.

The difference between bitter and better is I.
