We hope you have enjoyed our Share the Love emphasis this month. Our desire for this series is best explained through Paul's words in Ephesians 3:17-19.
"And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God."
We pray these same words over you! Do you feel rooted in God's immeasurable and unrelenting love? Has the fullness of His love in your heart inspired you to share the love with someone else—your spouse, co-worker or a stranger you crossed paths with while running errands? We would love to hear how you Share the Love! And while you're at it, let us know what topics you want to hear more on in the future. Leave a note in the Comments section below.
P.S. Speaking of love, this song beautifully illustrates the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God. You should give it a listen—Reckless Love by Bethel Music.

Every single morning on my drive into work, I pass by two rather large cemeteries. On one side of the road, the expansive acreage reveals the tombstones and epitaphs of people who are now on the other side of eternity. Next to that cemetery is a large retirement community of those who have already lived the majority of their lives. I always thought it was a strange juxtaposition to have that community overlooking the two cemeteries. As I drive past, it’s pretty typical to see funerals being conducted in various areas of the grounds. I often see other loved ones coming back to the graves of their departed friends and family members, usually leaving a wreath, flowers, or something that they would have loved. I tell you all of this not to be dark, macabre, or insensitive, but to share that God has brought me a new perspective with this daily drive.
