What Is God’s Desire for Our Lives?

When we can look around, whether at people we love or people we don’t love so much, and realize we’re all loved the same by God, we’ll begin to understand the senselessness of comparison and jealousy. No one person is alike in this world, but we all have the same opportunity to embrace life through Christ:

If we will open our hearts to Him, God will fill us to the brim and overflowing. He is all we need and everything we are looking for.
