THANK GOD FOR THE GIFT OF LOVE

Soul Care UWFaith

From Karen Kaigler-Walker,

Horizon TX Spiritual Growth Coordinator


No matter how long we live, we’ll never feel we get sufficient confirmation that God loves us and has our backs.


Even the greatest saints and the folks we think have it all together spiritually continually quest for greater love and assurance from God. We know from scripture that until the end of their lives, God’s people craved the  assurance, trust, safety, help, and confidence no matter how much God had assured them in the past. 


. . . Let’s not forget that we are able to love only because God first loved us. Between now and February 14, I urge you to . . . read more.
