A Luminous Love

Good Morning World!!!

Happy Sunday! This morning, I would like to encourage all of you in the Lord! I don't know where you might stand in your relationship with Jesus. Maybe you are stronger in your faith than ever before. Maybe you have wondered and are in need to reconnect and rededicate your life; or maybe you are on the fence- not sure if you really want to take the plunge- not sure if it's even worth it. No matter where  you might find yourself this morning, know that the Creator of Heaven and Earth is madly in love with you and is offering you the greatest of all things that will ever be attainable in this life- Love!

How He loves you, my friends! How many eons and galaxies he has created, yet none of them compare to his love for you! His love is luminous concerning you! It irradiates beyond the complexity of any universe His imagination has ever created! He has spent all eternity thinking about  you! The stars cannot amount to the many thoughts that our God has towards  you! Tonight, that is exactly what I would like us all to do... Look up into the sky and try to count all of the stars. Heck, look at your christmas tree and try to count all of the lights. I guarantee you that you will get tired of counting, but Jesus never gets tired of thinking about you. His love is like a brilliant blast of light concerning you. The angels see God's love for us, and shake their heads. They don't understand!

What is man that You are mindful of him,
And the son of man that You visit him?
For You have made him a little lower than the angels,
And You have crowned him with glory and honor.
-Psam 8:4-5


Some of you may have never encountered the Love of God. But I promise you, dear ones, it is truly the only reality worth living for. His love is not an imaginary force or energy. It is real. It is tangible and it is life changing! His Love is alive and is more powerful and more detailed than any star that ever was or ever will be. His love shines, ravishingly for you and He wants to shine that Love in your life and in your heart! How amazing!

Be blessed and know that you are LOVED!

Crazy Love, by Francis Chan





This week in our study, we are focusing on chapter three in "Crazy Love", by Francis Chan. I'm so excited for all of our ladies and for all the truths that we will learn. This study takes a personal view within our own hearts regarding how we are following the greatest commandment: Love God, Love Others.

Jesus said in Matthew 22: 36-40 that the greatest commandment is to“‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind'. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments." This seems easy, but the circumstances of life combined with our inherent disposition of being selfish creatures by nature, can be our greatest hindrance in obeying this truth from Christ. Sure, it's easy to dismiss our own faults and rely on an eternally loving God to forgive us of our sins, but what about us bestowing that same grace towards others who are just as faulty as we are? There is where the problem lies and there is where the challenge arises.

We are so excited to partake in this spiritual adventure! We know that with God's help and Chan's advice, we will learn, practice and grow in loving God and loving others- always being prayerful that our lives are being a bright witness for Christ! I hope you all will let the Lord do the same within you!

Enjoy the Journey!
