Today I was blessed by a lot of conversations about Jesus our Romancer. My beautiful roommate Mary used this word to describe His pursuit, and I thought about just how true it is. How wonderfully He loves us, how undeserving we are of it. Here are just a few pieces of Scripture that He’s used …
As I rest in the overflowing hope that Jesus gives, I remember what might serve as a counterfeit to biblical hope.
