God's love is eternal and unconditional, unlike the temporary and conditional love of the world. We must make a daily decision to choose God's love and values over worldly desires.
Imagine you're starving, and you have a choice between a candy bar and a healthy meal. The candy bar might taste good for a moment, but it won't fill you up or give you the nutrients you need. That's like choosing the world's temporary pleasures over God's lasting love. That's like choosing the ...read more
