Love for a Lifetime If I could describe, in one word, how Jesus has loved me, it would be the word "perfectly." That's the best description, if I had to pick one word, to describe His love in my life. In the moments when I was reluctant to forgive others for deep...
Who Do You Love? February is often a time when we focus on our marriages, couples get engaged, and we turn our attention to love. For some, it is the extreme opposite. Divorce. Heartbreak. Gloomy days, depression, anxiety, and loneliness. Some step outside their...
