Soak in God’s love and shine!

Jesus said, “I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.” John 10:10 NAS

We love because He first loved us.1 John 4:19 NAS

And He [Jesus] said to him, “’you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the great and foremost commandment. And a second is like it ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.” Matthew 22:37-40 NAS
