An Undying Love

Grace to all those who love Jesus with an undying love! Wow, powerful words from Ephesians. To love Jesus with an un-dying love... To never give up... To hold onto Him through it all... To love and trust Him... To hold onto Truth... To rather be wronged... To choose not to lie because you love Jesus... To give up something you want because of Truth... So many things change in our lives because Jesus changes our lives. Let us love Jesus with an undying love.
