God is Love
And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. 1 John 4:16
Have you ever struggled with feeling loved and accepted? Most of us do, but we don’t have to once we grasp how deeply and completely God loves us. While love from a spouse or a friend or a family member may be lacking, God’s love will fill that void in our life if we invite him to do so. In fact, no one is complete without God’s love. He created us to yearn for Him; that is why so frequently we feel emptiness irrespective of whatever our circumstances or relationships may be. So, if you don’t feel complete, how about accepting God’s love? He is waiting for you. And remember, with God, you will experience love beyond imagine.I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ. Ephesians 3:16-18
Because God is love, He is committed unconditionally to you.

Where Are You?
God is Sovereign
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28
The year 2020 will be remembered as one of the most unusual and challenging times in our lifetime - from health concerns to economic hardship to intense division and uncertainty about the future. How can one believe that there is a God that is good when faced with these circumstances?
There are some things that we just can’t comprehend, but we just have to trust that God is in control and that in all things God works for the good. For it is in times like these that we are given a chance to show love and compassion to our neighbors. This is how hope is restored -- when we offer kindness to those we disagree with or lend a hand to someone in need.
Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ Matthew 22:37-39
Because God is sovereign, we can trust God is at work in the midst of calamity.
