When we truly reflect on its message, we are overwhelmed by the depth of God’s love for us. This verse also presents us with a choice: to receive God’s gracious forgiveness or to remain in our brokenness. But when we accept His grace, it transforms us from the inside out—empowering us to love and serve others selflessly. /episode/index/show/blackrock/id/35499955
