Sometimes God does something wonderful, even in terrible times. For Peter and the disciples who now had a new mission, life got tough. Great opposition to their message was a regular occurrence.
God blesses us because God honors us with the power of His name. God blesses us because we are His and we believe in Jesus. Therefore, we reach out to others with that blessing in our hands. What a blessing to be a blessing!
How do we manage to love God wholeheartedly? It all begins with a command: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength.”
