It has been and always will be easy for people, especially religious people, to become focused on the wrong things in life. I constantly find myself making things more difficult or convoluted than they really are. The reality of this life with God is that all he asks of us is love. As we continue this week on the simplicity of love, today we’ll explore God’s heart on the subject. What does God require of us? What does he ask of us? May we take a step back today, examine our own hearts’ pursuits, and rest in the reality of how simple God’s love really is.

Our Scripture for today comes from 1 Corinthians 13:13, and today's worship is There Is No Striving by Rita Springer.

Reimagine what love looks like  

Jesus summed up our purpose with two statements: love God and love people. Love is at the center of our Christian faith, but in this season of COVID-19, it can be more difficult than ever to experience it, much less live it out. 

This is why we are launching volume 5 of our First15 Devotional Series, Love.

Within this 4-week journey, you will:

• Learn how to stand firm on God’s love in every circumstance.
• Receive lasting comfort in the goodness of God’s immense love for you.
• Find ways to love others out of the overflow of God’s love for you, even from a distance.
• Watch your faith come alive as you love God in word and deed. 

If you are longing to experience God’s love in a deeper way, please request your copy of Love today.
