Word of the Day: Feel God's love in your life
In the words of The Beatles; 'All You Need Is Love'. It's true! Love gives us security, joy, and confidence, all because we know someone loves us and cares about us. And where can we find true and deep love? In Jesus!
Many get hurt seeking love and acceptance at any cost. It's unfortunate but, in this frantic search, we all too often encounter lies, betrayal, disdain, and abandonment... However, when we seek in Jesus Christ, we are embraced by unconditional and incomparable love.
9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
1 John 4:9-10
God is generous with his love; he doesn't demand anything in return. On the contrary, He has already given everything in advance! That's why don't just say God has love, we say he is love! He is the real love you seek. Moreover, at the foot of the cross, you will find more than love, you will also find meaning, acceptance, worth, understanding, and purpose.
When all other sources of love fail, Jesus' love is always present. He gave His life for you and will never abandon you! Jesus loves you; so make space in your heart for His love right now...
Put your faith in Jesus, and His love will always be with you!

Word of the Day: Do we trust God?
It's natural to wonder why, even when we trust in God, anxiety can still enter into our thoughts. Trusting in God offers us peace and tranquility, and yet we often find ourselves holding back, not fully trusting in God. In the Bible, we read words of faith and comfort provided to soothe our hearts. Despite life's storms, there's peace available that surpasses all understanding and that can anchor us safely.
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7
In this verse, God reassures us that we can safely leave worries behind, and bring everything to Him through prayer. He shows us that we are not alone in our struggles and challenges. When we surrender our lives to God in prayer, He gives us a peace that surpasses everything.
Anxiety is not a sin, however, how we respond to anxiety can lead to sinful behavior if we are not careful. Anxiety can overwhelm us, and ruin us, so we need to address the root causes of anxiety, cultivate trust in God, and seek His peace in every situation. The first step is to approach God in prayer. When we talk to God, and share our fears, hopes, and needs He listens to us and calms us with His loving presence.
Thank Him, even in difficulties, for it helps us see His blessings even in tough situations.
The peace that God gives us does not depend on our circumstances. It is a peace that fills our hearts and minds, guarding us from fear. This peace goes beyond what the physical world can offer us, it appears contrary to what the world values, but it is a priceless gift that strengthens us and helps us face life's uncertainties.
So, when we feel anxious, we should remember this verse and trust in God, talk to Him in prayer, and let His peace fill our hearts. He is always ready to listen to us and take care of us.
