To explain God\u2019s love and faithfulness to the vast degree it is may be difficult, but we can try to do so to others \u2013 hoping the Holy Spirit will allow them to hear and receive what\u2019s shared so they see their desperate need for a Savior!\u201d<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Tina<\/span> brought our attention to the faithfulness of God, and said in her prayer,\u00a0\u201c&#8230;We want to know You more fully as we begin this new year. Show us places where we can improve and where we can be brave enough to share our hearts with You.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Tonya<\/span> focused our thoughts on God, Who is the Fountain of Life. \u00a0\u201cThere is constant light because God is a constant\u2014He is constantly merciful, constantly faithful, constantly righteous, He constantly preserves, and, most of all, He is constantly loving.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Laura<\/span> reminded us of our Hope as she shared: \u00a0\u201cThe fountain of youth is really the Fountain of life\u2014an eternal life with God. This eternal life shines like a light to the world through those who have accepted the gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ, God\u2019s greatest gift to mankind.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Ann <\/span>reminded us about the awesomeness of God\u2019s steadfast love. \u00a0\u201cGod\u2019s love is steadfast. You can count on the consistency of God\u2019s love revealed in the beauty of creation, in the gift of God\u2019s love and preeminently in the life death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. There are no limits, no lines, no conditions. God loves us to the end\u2026and beyond.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>And <span style=\"color: #800080;\">Ahmee<\/span> shares today a reminder that God\u2019s love NEVER fails. \u00a0\u201cThis is what it boils down to: the truth is that God&#8217;s Word is Truth.
