Izikiel 36:25

In this heart-transforming devotional from the book of Ezekiel by, Vance K. Jackson, let God remove your stony heart and give you a new start. Surrender every aspect of your life to Him. Give Him every dark place. Let God heal every hurt place. Study and meditate on God’s Word — let God refresh you and let Him make you whole.

Jesus’ death and resurrection, as well as the promise of His return, prove His unending love for each of us both in words and deeds. Jesus said that there is no greater love than someone giving his life for his friends, but He didn’t merely say it. He did it.

"Love" is one of the top-ten most looked-up words at Merriam-Webster.com. But the editors there wisely commented: "We’re guessing that many people arrive at our site with a question—'what is the meaning of love?'—that actually requires answers beyond a dictionary definition." They’re right. We need to look to the Bible. Let’s spend 5 Days on Love in a study by Logos Bible Software.

Even amidst problems, look for the good, staying open and responding to what God brings. As we encounter God more intimately, our perspective is rewritten as He reveals new ways to approach our troubles. Begin this five-day plan via Rush from Gather Ministries and allow love, rather than pain, to shape your decisions and relationships.
