We are in the days of miracles and wonders that will eventually eclipse those of any other time.

We serve a God that does His greatest works when it becomes impossible for us.

I have often heard, "I love God but just don't like His people." This may sound glib, but as John explained, this is a basic deception as we do not really love God unless we also love His people. The Scriptures also go to great lengths to explain that love is not to be based on whether people are lovable or not.
