Loving God, Serving Others

 

October 11, 2024
Hey there, People of God. 
You are loved… you know that, right? Perfectly so by your Creator. Given the way we really are, that’s totally amazing (and you know the way you are). Knowing our leaning toward sin but also knowing God’s love, these verses make sense: “It is good to praise the Lord and make music to your name, O Most High, proclaiming your love in the morning and your faithfulness at night…” (Psalm 92:1-2).  That’s pretty cool. As your feet hit the floor in the morning, you can shout, “God loves me!”  As your head hits the pillow at night, you can whisper, “Thank you for Your faithfulness…”  
There is no god like our God.  Amen?
