God's love for us is constant and will not diminish, but he cannot rescue us from the painful results that are caused by wrong choices.

Day-to-day acts of service, whether for good or evil, may not seem important, but they are building cords of love that become so strong they can seldom be broken. Ours is to place our areas of love in proper perspective. Meaningful love always works for our eternal progress and not against it.
