Obedience to God is His love in action through us. By the power of His Spirit, He perfects His character and His love in us. This is His way of restoring us to His image.

What is the light in your eye?
One of the apostles of Christ said, “The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.

When they accuse you, pray for them. When they insult you, pray for them. When you find they have used you, pray forContinue reading “Handling the Hurt”
