"For you have died, and your life is hidden with the Messiah in God"
-- Colossians 3:3 / Holman Christian Standard Bible
What does the love of Christ mean to His believers? It changes everything. His love is perfect and steadfast. Even though we are fallible, and wayward, the Good Shepherd cares for us still. Even though we have fallen far short of the Father's commandments, Christ loves us with a power and depth that is beyond our understanding. And, as we accept Christ's love and walk in Christ's footsteps, our lives bear testimony to His power and to His grace. Yes, Christ's love changes everything; may we invite Him into our hearts so it can then change everything in us.

Jesus, our lives have been changed forever by Your love and sacrifice. Today, we will praise You, we will honor You, and we will walk with You.
