The moment you take one sorrowful, halting step of repentance in His direction, God's joy overflows. He bestows the deepest blessings and all the good things He has been storing away for you. His joy cannot be contained.

The Christian life is not only what we do for Him; more importantly, what He does in and through us as we surrender ourselves to Him and respond to his love.

Repentance is a lot more than simply feeling guilty; it means moving beyond guilt to transformation.

If you're experiencing a deep desire in your heart to turn from our spiritual failures and to experience God's wonderful love and forgiveness, be assured that He is waiting for you.

God is love. The greatest devotion we could ever muster will never come close to the devotion Jesus has demonstrated for us. John declares in 1 John 4:19 that we love Him because Christ first loved us. God loved mankind from the very beginning, even before creation.

No matter what your circumstances are, what you may have done, or how long you've rebelled against God, His incredible unconditional love remains open to you. You can go home again, home to the arms of our loving Heavenly Father.

Is God calling you to make a difference in this world? Have you ever tried to serve Him, but when you did, it all fell apart? Well, don't give up. You'll be amazed at how "in control" God is in every situation.
