A life given to God is harder than we want. Even Jesus was tempted not to go to the cross. He calls us to persevere, as He did.

Surrender to God is part of the Christian life. Jesus served people; so should we. Who in your life needs help?

Our bodies are meant to be temples of God, a place for Him to dwell. Is yours? What needs to be removed? What needs to be added?

Have you tried to enter God's kingdom as your own king or queen? As a spectator? As God's student? Or as a true subject of the King?

Love is not just feelings. As emotions fade, love becomes a choice. And the choice must continue over time. That's how God loves us.

The initial emotion of love teaches us sacrifice, forgiveness, and vulnerability.

Know that feeling when you first fall in love? God's love is that intense all the time. His desire is for us and our joy.

We define love in many ways that serve us. God's version is selfless, generous, and forgiving. And God's version is the real one.

We care how others perceive us. We should: God told us we are the light of the world. Our faith should look good to those around us.

Do you want your faith to endure? Prepare for your trials. Get rid of distractions from God. And look at Him rather than your hardships.
