Are you getting a bigger sense of God's love for you and how much He has always wanted you to be his child? Pentecost is a day of celebration because people were able to get born again for the first time, receive holy spirit, and become children of God! Amazing! 

God chose you! God sees you! God is calling you! 

We can't feel deeply for others if we can't connect in our hearts. God and Christ's love make it safe to feel and not be guarded. We can be transformed! 

God's plan to send Jesus is amazing! It took a while to find a faithful woman like Mary, who said yes to the calling God had on her life to help raise Christ, and her awesome cousin, Elizabeth, who was also a huge encouragement.  

Time at the feet of Christ is powerful! He made a way for us to be with God, so the time we spend with Him has a huge impact on our hearts, how we love others, and how we receive love. 

God's vision for your life is bigger! This series will help you build a vision for how wide and big God's love is for you! 

God's love is unconditional! It does not come with borders or barbed wire. 

So many of us have stopped caring in relationships for fear of getting hurt, or have worked harder to be good enough, but that's not the answer! God's love is the answer! We don't have to be guarded or good enough for God's love to work! 

Resentment will never help us, but there is righteous anger that is healthy and helpful to feel when people are being taken advantage of. 

People pleasing takes a toll on us, but God can help us be in reality about when we are trying to be the savior for others instead of leading them to His son, Christ Jesus.
