Today’s Quote
Christ’s love, like the Father’s, is unchanging and eternal.
— Thomas Brooks
Spurgeon’s Daily Help
Jesus loves His people just as the Father loves Him. This love has no beginning, just as God's love has no beginning. "I have loved you with an everlasting love." You can trace the start of human love, but Christ's love for us is eternal, without a starting point. God the Father loves Jesus without any
change, and in the same way, Jesus' love for us never changes. Whether you're on a high point in life or a low point, His love remains constant.

Who hasn’t encountered lifeless sermons or prayers—like petrified stones rather than bread or granite blocks devoid of warmth and life? Sometimes, even church services can feel like gravestones marking the death of enthusiasm rather than sparking a holy
fire. A lifeless church, powerless ministry, and formal rituals are the biggest stumbling blocks to the world.
