"Without his love as our source, we are unequipped to love anyone well. Without his love as our ultimate satisfaction, we have a long road of disillusionment ahead." (Amy DiMarcangelo)
As we navigate our relationships and desires, it's easy to lose sight of the true source of love and fulfillment. Our sinful nature pushes us to prioritize self—what I want to do, how I want to spend my time. But without God's love as our foundation, our efforts to love others—whether in marriage, with our children, or in friendships—will fall short. Only His love equips us to care deeply and forgive freely, because our ultimate satisfaction is found in Christ.
Today, let’s rest in the truth that we can love well because God loves us perfectly.
Grace & Peace,
Amber

The Glory of Good Work | Darryl Dash
"In the past week, I’ve listened to a podcast about a blueberry producer, a mac and cheese restauranteur, and a sock merchant. I found all of them strangely satisfying.
When we do good work, we’re imitating God who, as Tim Keller put it, “made the world not as a warrior digs a trench but as a craftsman makes a masterpiece.” Feeling pretty inspired after reading this...and a little curious to go check out that mac and cheese restaurant...😋
The blog graphic was the perfect fit to this article! 😂 I'm closely covenanted with someone who may struggle with these tendencies even more than I do, so it really resonated.

She ends with some practical takeaways that we can all learn from.
Overcoming Comparison in Ministry: Finding Peace in Your Unique Calling | Rachael Kabagabu (Velvet Ashes)
"Sister, I wish I could say that you will never fall prey to the sin of comparison, but sometimes you will. There will be times when your eyes shift to another who has more, or has done more, than you. In those moments, I pray that Jesus will redirect your gaze upward."
