So much in life is up for grabs; tomorrow's weather, the DOW Jones this time tomorrow, international politics, ice-cream flavor of the week at the Sweet Shop down the street from my house. Sometimes there's so much uncertainty - it's tempting to think that nothing's certain ... just "death and taxes" as they say.

But - thankfully - that's just not true. Death and taxes aren't even as certain as God's love for us. In fact - we actually live in a world where only God's love is certain - and that's a pretty fantastic certainty. 

You've heard this before no doubt - but are you living bouyed up above all the stuff of the day because of that promise - or are you wearied and burdened down despite that truth? 

There are people who are certain of the promise of science - frequently - they become scientists. There are people who are positive of the promise of fortune - and frequently those people become investors. There are people who are committed to the promise of health - and they become disciplined athletes.

What does embracing God's promise to love you without fail, without exception inspire you to do?
