No soul can soar to the place of living loved when it’s a performance-based endeavor. Living loved is sourced in your quiet daily surrender to the One who made you.
So remember this today, sweet friend. You don’t have to earn God’s love. You can simply receive it.
There will always be someone in life who is smarter, better looking, more athletic, etc. Our gifts are a lousy foundation for our identity. This is why your identity needs to be in God and who He says you are.

What a beautiful thing that you and I, we were loved and valued so deeply that we were worth dying for. Today, wherever you find yourself, please remember you are loved so deeply by God. He sees you, He loves you and desires a close relationship with you. #God#faith#Jesus
Do you want to know who you are?
Look at your heart. (Not your body.)
“As in water face reflects face, so the heart of man reflects the man.” Proverbs 27:19
A few ways to recognize God's presence: 👇🏻

Happy Birthday America (now repent!)
It’s hard to believe it’s your birthday,
You’re closing in on the big 2-5-0.
And as I think about you as a country,
I’m scared of which way things may go.
Abortion still runs very rampant,
The killing of babies not yet born.
The LGBTQ vision is being fulfilled,
While traditional marriage is scorned.
Racism flows like a river of bile,
Deep in the hearts of rage-fueled men.
Shootings are a daily occurrence,
And hate, it seems like, will win.
Americans worships at the altar of self,
The trinity of me, myself and I.
No longer can we say “In God we trust”,
We’ve declared independence from on high.
And what of the hope of the bride of Christ?
Where are the children of light?
Some have caved to the culture,
And others are not up for the fight.
The battle of making disciples,
The fight for the souls of the lost,
The radical quest to love our enemies,
The hard math of counting the cost.
But I believe there is a remnant,
Sprinkled like salt on the sod.
Waiting to transform the culture,
These are the people of God!
Rise up O believers in Jesus!
Rise up the old and the young!
Live out God’s love with boldness!
Speak out his truth with your tongue.
There’s hope for this once great country,
That stood as a beacon of light.
That hope is the church revived again,
The Spirit unleashed in full might.
The hearts of Americans transformed,
By faith in the work of the cross.
Because Jesus rose from the dead,
Through him we can rise from this loss.
May we return to what we were built on.
May we say “In God We Trust” once again.
May we work for true freedom in this nation.
By God’s grace, may we turn from our sins.
So on this 4th of July celebration,
As fireworks to the sky they are sent,
I give to the United States my warm wishes,
Happy Birthday America, now repent!
(A poem by Greg Stier)
Today marks one year since the Supreme Court rightfully overturned Roe v. Wade, saving thousands of innocent lives across the nation.
I am proud to lead the most Pro-Life state in America — and under my leadership, we will always defend the God-given right to life for the most vulnerable among us.
