Our lives have been changed by the love of Jesus Christ. We pray that yours is, too! We think it’s no accident that you stumbled upon this page.
Our lives—marriage, relationships, finances, inner peace, clarity of dreams—were transformed when we opened our hearts to God. It is completely life-changing when you begin noticing and listening to his whispers, then doing what you feel him calling you to do. Then, finally, this little life we live all makes sense. We are constantly challenged by his words in Romans 12:2:
Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
He has a dream and a plan for your life. Jeremiah 29:11-13 says,
11 For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. 12 In those days when you pray, I will listen. 13 If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.
God is good. All the time. He is love, so He can be nothing but loving. His love is jealous for our attention. His love is unchanging. There is nothing we can do to make God love us less—or more. His love is constant. He sent his son Jesus to die for our sins, so we live for him.
