FIRST: Lead People Closer to Jesus (February 2, 2025)

Even when there is a separation between how we want to live and how we’ve been commanded to live, even when we disagree with truth, there is love that continues to draw us closer and closer to Jesus. Truth doesn’t call for hatred of those who aren’t following the truth. Truth is a standard set in motion for us to obey. When my kids don’t obey me, I don’t hate them. I love them. I hurt for them, and I may even hurt because of their disobedience, but I continue to speak the truth and believe that the truth is still what’s best.
