Today's Top Quotes"When it comes to loving people, let's not allow it to be something we do on the side. Let's make it a lifestyle. Whether we are at the gas station, picking up groceries, even waiting to get our car repaired, there is always an open opportunity to love someone in need."

Dear Lord, I ask for joy. The Gospel of John says that if we ask for something we will receive it, and my prayer is that you would fill me with joy so that I can serve you with a glad and abundant heart. I ask with a hopeful attitude of expectation, believing that you also desire for me to be filled with joy so I can serve your kingdom better. In Jesus' name, amen.
