Summary
As we continue our week focusing on honesty, today we’re going to look at how true honesty affords us the ability to be more fully loved. At the foundation of it all, we’re all searching for love. And the fullness of love can only be experienced when we allow true love to find its way into every part of us by bringing who we fully are into our relationships. May God love us powerfully today as we make space to be more honest with him and ourselves.
Our Scripture for today comes from Isaiah 54:10, and today's worship is Lean Back by Capital City Music.

Do you ever feel like life just happens to you?
Instead of choosing the things that fill your day, does life always somehow sweep you up into its endless flow of expectations and obligations?
If so, there’s a better way! It’s called a Rule of Life, and Craig Denison has written a new book about creating your own Rule of Life called Living Intentionally. We’d love to put a copy in your hands to say thanks for your donation to help more people experience God the first 15 minutes of their day.
