When Jesus came to save the lost, He did it for more than one reason. Saving us from ourselves and giving us an eternal connection to the Creator opens the door for abundant life. We can let our faith stay ahead of our minds as we overcome fears and take bold steps into the unknown because Jesus has our back, loving us unconditionally, even if we fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Loyal love defines God\u2019s affection for us. Nothing we do can separate us from the Almighty once we place our faith in Him. Like the Israelites of the Old Testament, we turn from the Lord, getting lost in our selfish desires, but He doesn\u2019t leave us. When we recognize the error of our ways and confess them to the Savior, He wraps us in His arms and loves us, thankful for our return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jesus knew some people would reject His gift of salvation, yet He died on the cross anyway. Imitating the Son means we do all things in love, even if people reject it. We can\u2019t control what other people do, but we can control our actions. Becoming more like Christ means having loyal love for the people in our lives, always leading with truth and affection, taking the next right step, regardless of the outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Journal Question:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">How does knowing God loves you, no matter what, give you confidence?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Random Act of Kindness:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">What can you do to show unconditional love to someone today?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One-minute read.
