Jesus is Love

Why we feel so alone, even in the midst of celebration…

It happens every February. Our attention turns toward Valentine's Day and the loved ones in our lives. We think of flowers and candy and romantic love and Cupid and all the things and images that bring us longing and desire for that one special love.


We have tried to create the perfect impression of the perfect marriage and the perfect family. Hearts and smiles and pretty faces.  But for many of us underneath that facade is a cold emptiness and pain that is hard to endure. We think about our regrets and how we can fix the mistakes that we've made all the while trying to carry on as though nothing were wrong whatsoever.


This is why so many of us feel so alone, even in the midst of celebration.


But Jesus knows our pain and he knows the only way to get rid of it was to sacrifice HIs life. And so he did. So He loved us so much that He, even though we are and still and will always be in sin, gave His life so that we may have life eternal. That is perfect love. Agape love. The type of love that only He, the Son of God, could give.


This is the message of the good news. This is the message of the Gospel. But many people ask what does this have to do with me? How can this good news take away the loneliness and emptiness that I feel deep inside? The answer is simple. Follow his example. There is no blessing where there is no sacrifice. You must learn to sacrifice so that you may partake in the the blessings He offers. How and what those sacrifices are is between you and Him.


For some it may be staying right where you are, even though you feel frustrated and unfulfilled, because your sacrifice is that you should be a blessing for those around you. For others it may be making a sacrifice for a season while waiting on the right time to move forward in Peace and Freedom.


Whatever it is, whatever the situation in your life, just remember that whatever sacrifice and whatever pain you experience is not endured alone. So reach out to Him right now and ask Him help you and He will. Ask Him to forgive you and He will. Ask Him to give you strength and He will give you strength.


Right now, just say Lord Jesus, I'm a sinner, I believe that you came and died on the cross for me so that I can live life eternal, I accept you right now as my Lord and Savior and I thank You and I receive the blessings that You have in store for me both now and in the eternal, in Jesus name AMEN!


Now if you prayed that prayer you now have the green light to give and receive His love in a way that no earthly love can offer and this, in turn, will bring you the peace and joy you so desperately long for and need. Welcome aboard the love train!

Why $49 Could Be Your Smartest Business Investment This Year

By douglas hauptman • February 14, 2025
Look, I'm going to be straight with you. Most AI marketing tools are expensive. Jasper starts at $39/user/month just for basic features. Other platforms charge up to $99/month for their premium tiers. And that's before you factor in all the separate tools you need for different tasks. That's what makes American Marketing Company Marketing Tools different. At $49/month, you're getting an entire marketing department in your pocket. Not just one tool. Not just a few features. Everything. Let's break down what that $49 actually buys you: A full AI content creation suite that would normally cost $40-60/month on its own Email marketing automation that typically runs $30-50/month elsewhere Social media management tools that usually cost $25-35/month SEO optimization features that other companies charge $50+/month for Analytics and reporting that could easily set you back $30-40/month Add that up, and you're looking at $175-235 worth of marketing tools. For $49. But here's the real kicker: According to recent market analysis, businesses using AI marketing tools are seeing an average ROI increase of 37%. Think about that. If you're making $5,000 a month now, that's potentially an extra $1,850 in your pocket. From a $49 investment. "But I can just use free tools," you might be thinking. Sure, you could. You could also cut your own hair, change your own oil, and do your own taxes. But at some point, you have to ask yourself: What's your time worth? The average small business owner spends 20 hours per month on marketing tasks. With American Marketing Company Marketing Tools , our users report cutting that down to 5 hours. At even a modest $50/hour valuation of your time, that's $750 worth of time saved every month. Here's what makes this offer different: No contracts No hidden fees No "premium" features locked behind higher tiers No per-user pricing that suddenly triples your costs No complex onboarding process Just $49/month for everything. That's less than what most businesses spend on coffee for the office in a week . And unlike other platforms that make you pay extra for AI features, which can drive costs up significantly for small businesses , everything at American Marketing Company Marketing Tools is powered by AI from the ground up. Think about it this way: $49 is: Less than one tank of gas Less than a decent dinner for two Less than most monthly phone bills Less than what most competing tools charge for just one feature But unlike those expenses, this $49 is an investment that pays for itself. Often in the first week. Here's my challenge to you: Try it for one month. That's all. If you don't see at least a 2x return on that $49 investment, I'll be shocked. With the AI marketing industry growing by 38% in 2025, can you really afford to wait? The catch? There isn't one. But there is a reality: As AI technology costs rise, this $49 price point won't last forever. Lock it in now. Ready to stop wasting time and start growing your business? Visit American Marketing Company Marketing Tools and click "Subscribe." Your future self will thank you. P.S. Still on the fence? Remember this: While you're reading this, your competitors are probably already using these tools. The question isn't whether to embrace AI marketing - it's whether you'll do it before or after them.
