LOVE DARE #21

Day 21: Love is Satisfied in God
 
BE INTENTIONAL TODAY ABOUT MAKING A TIME TO PRAY AND READ YOUR BIBLE. TRY READING A CHAPTER OUT OF PROVERBS EACH DAY (THERE ARE THIRTY-ONE - A FULL MONTH'S SUPPLY), OR READING A CHAPTER IN THE GOSPELS (MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE, AND JOHN). AS YOU DO, IMMERSE YOURSELF IN THE LOVE AND PROMISES GOD HAS FOR YOU. THIS WILL ADD TO YOUR GROWTH AS YOU WALK WITH HIM.
 
Some of you may have encountered this "LOVE DARE" journey with miraculous transformations and benefits. Some may feel alone and dissatisfied. Regardless of the circumstances, you are never alone. Your spouse may have let you down (you may have let your spouse down), but God will never - ever - let us down. He will always lift us up.
 
Yesterday was an important "LOVE DARE." Depending on your walk with God - new territory or a well-worn path - God is on this journey with you. Can your spouse meet every need? No, but God can. Can your spouse give you a peace that surpasses all understanding? No, but...God can. First, you must seek Him. You will find Him - when you seek Him with all your heart (Jeremiah 29:13).
 
VERSE FOR TODAY'S DARE: "The Lord will continually guide you, and satisfy your desire" (Isaiah 58:11).
THOUGHT FOR TODAY'S DARE: God - the Creator of the universe - can do all things. He can - and will - meet every need. He loves us beyond our comprehension.
 
Blessings for a "very satisfying" day,
Dale and Susan Crook
