God is Love.

He calls us to be “love.” Our way of loving is deeply rooted in Him. Jesus came to earth to show us the true nature of love, and we can see God as the presence that dwells, lives, and loves within each of us.

God is a vibrant reality, near to us, one we may not always recognize, but whose action we cannot stop.

He holds a special tenderness for those who believe in Him and serve Him with acts of kindness.

In creating humanity in His own image, God endowed us with countless, boundless qualities. He placed within us an inner compass to guide our actions, the power to judge and choose, and the ability to leave our own mark on creation.

Could it be that we overlook the depth and richness within our own being?

These treasures include our unique qualities, gifts, talents, energy, vitality, and the capacity to love, understand, trust, and consider others. They empower us to take on responsibilities and contribute meaningfully to the world around us.

God designed us not only to bring joy to Himself but also to others, so that through each person’s presence, we might glimpse His Presence.

Why not be like the little birds who greet each dawn with song outside their nests?
