God's timing and methods often confuse us, but through the gospel, he enters our suffering, redeems our pain, and promises ultimate joy.
Genuine love for God will inevitably manifest itself through compassionate action toward those who are suffering and in need.
Christians should overcome discomfort to befriend non-believers and share Christ's love, following Jesus's example of seeking the lost.
Jesus calls us to count the cost and renounce all competing loyalties—possessions, comfort, and even family—to follow him with undivided devotion.
