Summary

Have you ever wondered why so many movies, books, and songs are focused on romance? It’s because every one of us, in the deepest corners of our hearts, longs to feel loved and cherished. But if we’re honest with ourselves, we also know that we don’t deserve that kind of unconditional love. We know that eventually, we’ll fail everyone: our spouse, our family, and even God. And God knows all this, so why does he continue to love and pursue us? Pastor J.D. answers that question on this edition of Summit Life.
