In Acts 9 we meet a woman named Dorcas who seems to be living a relatively normal life. Then she passes, and the town begins to turn out in large numbers to remember the simple, everyday ways that this woman served and blessed her community. From a place of gratitude to God, we each are invited to serve and love others out of the overflow of our relationship with God.

In Ezekiel God makes a covenant with Israel, that sounds a lot like wedding vows (because it was meant to be a wedding vow). God promises to transform their (and our) hearts as we follow after him passionately. That part of following God is that it changes us deeply.
