Because God is My God, I will: relationally to the Lord. all that the Lord does. in the Lord's justice. Applying God's Word to Life How do you know that someone loves you and can be trusted? How do we respond to those that we love and feel loved by? What does it look, feel, and sound like in everyday life? What moves us to decide whether to let someone into our life and our space and what moves us to keep others at a distance? What are some ways that we respond relationally to people that we truly love? What are some ways we have seen love expressed in culture? What are some of your favorite love songs? Why? What do they say? How do we respond to the actions and words of people that we truly admire? How does that play out in relationship with God? What does it look like to trust God to bring about justice? What words would you use to express who God is to you? How is God calling you to respond to Him today or in this season of your life? How will you say “yes” to God in your heart, through your head, and through your hands?
