Because God so loved me, I must live in His love towards others whether I feel they deserve it or not, that I may reflect the perfect nature of my perfect heavenly Father.
God's mercy that has saved my soul demonstrates its power and effectiveness best when it governs my responses to personal mistreatment and reaches out to those in need.
Because God designed marriage as a lifelong commitment before Him, I must commit to living in this reality, defending and protecting God's gift by His grace.
