One last word connecting happiness to sacrificial love. Five last words actually.
Far from being theologically right, we find that the deepest drive of every person is love and hapiness. Today we will see an unbreakable connection between the two and the results might suprise you.
God's love is costly- and not just on the cross. In His everydau interactions, He gave of Himself. Real love ofter comes after sacrifice, not before. What if the love we're waiting to feel is on the other side of what we are willing to give?
How staying curious could be the key to moving forward.

Could one simple sentence change the way you love - everyone? This line can flip the mattress on a failing marriage, leave a lasting legacy with your children, boost your effectiveness as a leader and revolutionize all your relationships. Too good to be true?
