Next to God's Word, I think one of the best books I have read on the growth and health of our faith is Trusting God by Jerry Bridges. Jerry shows us from God’s Word that no matter what we experience in this life, we can wholeheartedly trust the sovereign, wise, and unfailing love of God. This past month, our Men's D-Groups and Women's Flourish groups read two chapters about this love in Bridges’ book. Let me quote a powerful truth Jerry shared about God’s love from God’s Word:

Paul’s final words to the Corinthians in his first letter included this big audacious command: “Let all that you do be done in love” (1 Cor. 16:14).

First, what does this love mean?

God’s love is to motivate and flow through everything we do as believers (“Let all that you do”).

God’s love (agape) seeks, by attitude and action, to selflessly give the best and highest good for others.
