Many hear the phrase "love story" and immediately their minds dart to marriage or romance. Yes, the Father desires to choose a spouse that best fits you. But the truth is, God wants everyone to live a perfect love story with those around them. The Lord wants your family to overflow with His love. And He longs to connect you to friends that become family. The Father's great hope is that His children feel a sense of belonging, and experience His love through those around them. In this way, others may see His love and be saved.

However, God is love and we are incapable of showing perfect love without Him. As a result, the book series Live a Love Story seeks to encourage the reader to pursue the Lord in their thought life. Ask Him the hard questions. Get to know your Heavenly Father in a deeper way so that you can experience and then introduce others to His love.

Every life lesson that the Lord longs to teach us will stem from His desire to refine the way we love Him and others. And because no one knows the day or hour of Christ's return, today is the day to say yes to God and let the Spirit shape you into a mighty oak of righteousness, a planting of the Lord. Through your weak yes and God's grace, you can withstand cultural pressures to turn away from Christ and arise as a refuge for all those in need. Right now, your Father is asking you to say yes and pursue Him with your entire being. How will you respond?
