YOUR WHOLE LIFE!
When a man is in love with a woman, he is extremely protective and jealous for her! Nothing can anger him more than someone trying to hurt her. Many times the jealousy of a man is selfishly motivated and not pure love, but God’s jealousy towards us is pure, relentless and intense!

Experiencing the life of being completely loved, completely forgiven and completely free is only possible when our life is completely given over to him! I'm praying for you and believing that today is your day for God to have...
