JUDAH SMITH: “BECAUSE OF JESUS – WE HAVE HEALING”

God is love, and he loves with a no-strings-attached kind of love. He knows every detail about your past and future, yet he's still willing to meet with you today. He's never too busy or preoccupied to impact your present situation. Our behavior can't make us more or less of a priority to God, so we need to live liberated lives instead of lives marked by the pressure to prove ourselves worthy.
