Today, let's get real and take Jesus up on an invitation and challenge he gives us that is easier said than done.

Jesus showed us that real, authentic love is more than an emotion and more than a feeling, but it takes action.

In one of the last moments Jesus shared with his disciples before he went to the cross, he took the time to reveal a new commandment that is still directed toward us today.

In Colossians 3:12-17, we find an instruction manual for how God designed us to live as his followers.

There is nothing you or I can do to gain or lose God's love. It never changes or fails. Let's think about that power for a few minutes.

Jesus is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow, and we can rest assured that his goodness is true and will never change.

God's mercy to us never stops and never leaves. Daily we are reminded of that, but we can often forget to take it seriously.

No matter how we feel in our current circumstances, trusting God in the unknown and waiting can be hard. But God has given us a promise we can cling to.

Since the very beginning there have been times where trusting God and his timing has been difficult, but why? And what can we do to overcome that?

Sometimes it's hard to let go and give full trust to God. But God tells us that if we trust in him with all our heart, he will guide us.
