What Does Love Look Like?

“The shape of true love isn't a diamond. It's a cross.”

—Alicia Bruxvoort

Last Wednesday, on February 14th, we observed two special days in one: Valentine’s Day and Ash Wednesday. The former is a celebration of romantic love and, often, a reminder to give gifts or send notes to your loved ones. The latter marks the beginning of the season of Lent and is a reminder that all of us, someday, will die—but that God’s love conquers death itself. As we enter the weeks leading up to Easter, let’s celebrate the all-encompassing love of God and look for ways to extend that love to everyone around us.

P.S.: There’s still time to participate in the February Love Letter challenge! Write three love letters—one to God, one to someone else, and one to yourself. You don’t have to share the contents of these letters, but we do invite you to comment on the weekly challenge post in the Facebook group and let us know how writing those letters impacts your understanding of God’s love.

New Publishing Secrets Episode: This Waiting Season with Candy Arrington (Re-Air)

Did you catch last Friday’s episode of Publishing Secrets? Guest Candy Arrington shared about her writing and publishing journey and how she has learned to “expect the unexpected.” As Candy has learned, things don’t always turn out the way we expect or plan for them to. But when we trust God and follow His leading, things may just turn out much better than we could have imagined! Listen and be inspired by Candy’s story—plus, get some insider tips for writing and publishing success.
