Fall in love with our Creator, our Lord, our Provider, our Healer, our King of kings and our Savior, Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">What do we mean by\u00a0falling\u00a0in love?<\/p>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Some of us might not even\u00a0know what\u00a0love really is. Maybe some of us\u00a0have never been loved the way we should have been. And the love we think we know isn&#8217;t love at all.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Jesus is our example of LOVE.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Jesus&#8217;s love for us is true love. He loves us so much that He gave Himself for us. Literally. That&#8217;s right. He died a cruel death for you and for me.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">And while He was here, He served us. He healed us. He clothed and fed us. He delivered us from demonic attacks. He protected us from our enemies. He made a way for us to have a relationship with Him. And He made us a home in Heaven for when it&#8217;s our time to leave this place.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">This love\u00a0is for us all.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Go after Him. Find Him.\u00a0He will teach <em>us <\/em>how to love like this as we\u00a0walk in a relationship with Him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">A relationship takes two people, talking to each other, hearing each other, serving each other, respecting each other, caring for each other. We go the extra mile for each other. Even unto death.\u00a0These are all things we will do when we truly love.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Start a relationship with our beloved Jesus Christ. Everything else around us will fall into place, one piece at a time. We will learn how to love and deal with things accordingly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Our words will be tempered, our\u00a0anger, unforgiveness\u00a0and\u00a0bitterness will eventually go away. Our cares will be more for others than for ourselves. We will handle ourselves differently and our situation will change for the better.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Focus on falling in love with\u00a0Him first. He will work out\u00a0all\u00a0the\u00a0other details over time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Pastor Curt &amp; Pastor Ellie<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Seven Seas Ministries<br \/>\nP.O.
