By Lori AltebaumerWe love because he first loved us. -- 1 John 4:19Yahweh, Jehovah, Abba, Father. Many names, one God of all creation—sovereign and eternal.

Of all the people and institutions in which we place our trust, none of them are infallible. Regrettably, we do not always place our confidence in God as quickly as we do strangers. Read MoreVisit Daybreak Devotions and Nighttime Prayers

Yet, it’s still a mystery why we don’t outgrow childish cliques or unkindness.I’m sure you’ve seen it in the shows you watch or the tunes you hear on the radio. People bashing one another like reality is a game of Angry Birds. But our lives aren’t contests, or our bodies made for destruction. We were created for the abundant life–life to the fullest extent.
