Matthew 5:44

Loving those who love us is easy. But Jesus calls us to go beyond that and love those who are against us. The Lord came and suffered horrible persecution at the hands of those He came to save. Yet even with His dying breath He prayed, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.” (Luke 23:34) Christ came to love the unlovable, including us. And out of thankfulness for His unmerited love, we too need to extend that same love to others. And who knows. Someday the one you call your enemy, may just turn out to be come your greatest friend in Christ!

“Life is difficult for everyone; everyone has bad days. Everyone has trouble in their life because it doesn’t matter how rich you are, sickness, trouble, worry, and love; these things will mess with you at every level of life.” …Domhnall Gleeson

Sometimes it seems life has a way of kicking us when we’re down. And just when we think we can’t get any lower, we get kicked again. Setbacks, failure, and tragedy are a part of life. No matter who you are, there’s no way around it. But even in our times of deepest despair, we can can find comfort and rest through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. …

Matthew 21

Have you ever been disappointed by Jesus? You’re probably saying to yourself right now, “What!? Of course not!” But if we’re truly being honest, wouldn’t the answer be yes?

Whatever the reason, if you’ve ever felt the sting of disappointment you are not alone. …

Matthew 6

Fear and anxiety are powerful tools of the enemy. For God did not design us to be anxious or worried. In His Sermon on the Mount Jesus told the crowds, “Do not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’….Do not worry about tomorrow.” (Matt. 6:31,34) …

John 13

When you think of Jesus what is the first thing that pops into your head? For me it is His love. His love that He so freely and joyfully gives to me. A love that is so strong, He laid down His life to call me His own. And I in return love Him. But that isn’t enough. For Jesus wants more than my love, He wants me to love others with the same passion that I reserve for Him. …
