Does Anyone Really Care?
“And let us consider and give attentive, continuous care to watching over one another.” Hebrews 10:24 Do you ever wonder if anyone really cares?

Receiving God’s Love
“And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God and God in him.” 1 John 4:16-17 Those who have not experienced unconditional love may have a hard time believing that God loves them. Conditional love is not God’s kind of love. Conditional love is based on performance and expectations. You may have experienced conditional love when someone had an expectation of how they thought you should perform. If you performed to meet their expectations, then you were accepted and affirmed.
