Jesus said that if we loved Him, we would keep His commandments (John 14:15). He didn't say we would go to church, read the Bible, or do good deeds. We would obey Him.

Instead, we ought to commit to obeying Him at every opportunity.

Pain isolates us and suffocates our hope. In this loneliness, we often wonder if anyone can meet us in our pain and see us through to the other side.

Whether we are facing hardship, loss, or our own struggle with sin, God is close, ready to come alongside us with mercy.
