This verse is the epitome of love, in that, Christ calls us his friends and willingly lays down his life for us.
Let’s commit to laying down our gossip, giving our friends the opportunity to work it out, and choosing to live a life of great love －the life that Jesus calls us to live.
As followers of Jesus, we can trust that there is a purpose, that he will show us the glory of it even.

If we believe that God is real and that Jesus has overcome death on our behalf, then Easter holds the most beautiful, magnificent, glorious truth!
We should be seeking God like it’s our job. Because, well, it is.
The LORD is GOOD. Everything about him is good. Everything he does is good. He's ALL GOOD.

Are your words merely words? Or, does your life truly reflect them?
You are loved by the God of the universe. He gave his very life to give you a new life, a true life, one that is connected to him and purposeful.

Some people believe that the essence of who we are is etched in stone, as immovable as the pyramids.
