Love God Greatly: EmpoweredSample

When God does a great work in the world, His people rejoice. When we hear of the incredible ways God is working in foreign countries, or against oppression, poverty, and injustice, we rejoice. When a friend or neighbor tells us about the way God provided a job when they were unemployed, we rejoice with them. When we hear of God changing the hearts of those who were far from Him, we worship Him. When we learn of the ways God is pursuing the hearts of young people or of the many people who have placed their faith in Christ, we praise Him. ⁣
