God’s Love Is Unconditional and EternalBy Rick Warren“I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.” Jeremiah 31:3 (NIV)Understanding who God is and that he loves you with an everlasting love is the foundation for a life filled with hope. But it is also important that you admit who you really are—someone loved by God in spite of all your faults and failures. God already knows everything about you; he just wants you to be honest with yourself.

Having once been in their position, she understands their struggles. More than 20 years ago, Jade herself lived in a Catholic Charities shelter. “I might’ve been six or seven when we got there. Things were rough at home before that. My parents struggled with addiction, and there was domestic violence in the house,” Jade recalled.

By Bethany RankinWhat happens when a business decides to serve more than customers? Ken Garff Collision answered that question with action at Samaritan House Fort Collins. Over the course of a week, employees rolled up their sleeves and shared over 60 hours to serve warm meals to individuals and families experiencing homelessness. But they didn’t stop there — they also provided a generous financial donation to help fund Samaritan House’s life-changing programs.

The mood of John 14 was somber. Jesus was preparing His disciples for His departure. They were understandably dejected and upset. Jesus lifted their spirits with a promise: “And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you. He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive him, because it isn’t looking for him and doesn’t recognize him. But you know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you” (verses 16–17 NLT).

In Genesis 33:5, Jacob acknowledged that God had “graciously given” his family to him. The members of our family are blessings, graciously given to us by our loving heavenly Father. And today we give God thanks for our family. The comedian George Burns said, “Happiness is having a large, loving, caring family in another city.” But the quirks, irritations, and annoyances that drive us crazy sometimes are also what give our families their unique flavor. So let’s give thanks for them.

I think we focus so much on Christmas that we can forget what a blessing Thanksgiving is. We can say the reason is because this distinctly American holiday cannot be as monetized as other year-end holidays and events, but I think there is a more significant reason. I think it’s because we either don’t want to, or don’t know how to, give thanks, and that is exactly what this day asks of us. But on this day that reminds us of God’s faithfulness, we should be giving thanks to Him.
