To love someone properly probably means that you won’t be very popular. Pure love, loving the way it was intended, is unfortunately a foreign concept to many. Love is messy. Love will involve hardship, demand patience, require forgiveness, test maturity, strain friendship, challenge priorities, refine character, ignite the heart and unleash the soul. Love is not something you sing about, it’s the reason you sing. Love is not something you write about, it’s the reason you write. Love is not something you live to find, it’s the reason that you are alive.

When a majority of my prayers are for others to change, I've gotten off track. Lord, change this sinner's heart.

What did all the saints have in common? They feared sin more than even physical death.

Never complain about growing old... Some never have the privilege.

Some people say, "If you trust in God's unconditional love, why do you need to pray?" A better ending is "why wouldn't you want to?"

Maybe if we said that sin causes cancer, people would take it more seriously.

Are you willing to go the extra mile in this new year to know God?
