"“Do You Love Me?”
Christ has a way not only of calling us to serve His purposes, but of calling us to unfamiliar environments that require new trust and dependence on Him. That stretches us to deeper levels of character.
The primary thing Jesus wants to know about you and me is simply this: “Do you love Me?” Because if that love is in place, however fragile our sense of our own capabilities may be, He can take us from there!
And moreover, He can take us farther than we ever dreamed!
Remember that in serving Him, everything flows out of “first love”: loving Jesus first, and following Jesus ever. It’s the ultimate discipline. And it always bears the fullest fruit.
The Power and Blessing

About this Plan
Pastor Jack Hayford points the way to the life-changing pathway of praise. No matter how you feel, praise will shape what your experiences will become. When doubts come, praise God that His Word will never fail you. When fears taunt, praise God that His presence never leaves you. When questions arise, praise God that His wisdom holds every answer. Praise leads you to the One who assures peace beyond strife, hope beyond trial, joy beyond sorrow, and life beyond all.
