Do you ever pursue personal relationships for the perks? We’re selfish to our core and it’s not unusual for someone to be used simply because they have something to offer. Pastor Dave reminds us today that we should engage in our relationship with Jesus not simply for what He can do, but for what He HAS DONE for you.

Have you ever been in a relationship that wasn’t fulfilling? Maybe you loved them a lot, but you didn’t receive what you needed from them, so it was lackluster. Pastor Dave reminds us today that a relationship with Jesus is nothing of the sort. If you love the Lord and live out His will, the satisfaction is overwhelming.

How many of us know what it’s like to love unconditionally? Even with spouses or children, we love them for who they are despite their flaws, not in spite of them. Pastor Dave reminds us today that even though Jesus knows every little thing about you, even though He knows your shortcomings and flaws, He loves you.

Pastor Dave reminds us today that that’s God’s heart for us. He gave everything in order that you might love Him, but ultimately, the choice is yours.

Have you ever realized that when you cut bad things out of your life, good things start to enter? Some people may say it’s luck, but Pastor Dave reminds us today that it’s our supernatural Father at work.
