When We Need the Tried and True Encouragement for the Narrow Road We’re Traveling

There is such a tension. The struggle is real here. Sweet friend, it is imperative that we learn to love like Jesus if we call ourselves His follower. Follow is the operative word. We must follow the perfect example the best that we can in spite of our imperfect nature.   How do we love […]
