God's love is no sentimental or emotive feeling—which can be devastated by the perpetrators of wickedness, or snuffed out by the disappointments of life.

"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

Our Father wants us to grow up into the deep likeness of his Son, Jesus, anchored in his Word, animated by his Spirit, abiding in his presence, attached to his friends, and  activated in his kingdom.

"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

A change of life only begins with a change of heart.
