Produktbeschreibung

Our culture often promotes the lifestyle and status of the rich and

famous, Hollywood celebrities, or professional athletes. We are driven

to compare ourselves to these people in the hope that fame and fortune will make

us a better person and will yield a better life. Our purpose, identity, worth,

and happiness are not found in the things of this world but rather in knowing

who we are in the one who loves us, Jesus.

The world tells us we should look a certain way, have a certain career, drive a certain car, and marry a certain person. We pursue the things of this world that are fed daily to us as if our spiritual health was dependent upon them for wholeness. Yet, despite our pursuits we never find true joy and happiness, struggling in many walks of

life. We are, in Jesus, more than any celebrity. As we learn more about Jesus

and the love He has demonstrated and the love He holds for us still today,

we understand it is what is in the heart of man that matters more than that

which is in the world.

The Bible teaches us to "guard your heart, above all

else, for it determines the course of your life" (Proverbs 4:23). The attention

of our heart is seduced by the images and messages of our world. If we are

not careful, we become prey to the schemes of the devil and forsake the love

Christ holds for us. We feed on our own selfish desires, forsaking loving

God, and others. But Jesus calls us to love one another. To accomplish this,

we need to have a selfless heart. Jesus gave us two commandments; "Love the

Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your

mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it:

'Love your neighbor as yourself.' (Matthew 22:37-39). To achieve a selfless

heart is to know and understand the love God holds for us. God wants to share

his message of love with us to prepare our hearts so that we, too, may

be able to say to others, Jesus loves you, say it Again.
