Did you know that you are worth more? The society we live in tells us that our relationships are about an exchange of goods, we are just people who use and are used by others. BUT that stops here. You are worth so much more than that! Through the knowledge and grace of Christ's love for us, each one of us has the power to this culture of use here and now. Through Him we know this truth that the more we love, the more we know we are loved.
