Everyone loves a heartwarming rescue story—especially about a dog like Roxy, who was saved from despair and transformed by love. Roxy began abandoned and frail, afraid of touch, but through patient care and gentle reassurance, she slowly regained her trust, joy, and vitality. Her story mirrors our own deepest human needs, because we all long for the kind of love that lifts us up and gives new life. The good news is that God provides that type of love for us in Jesus Christ. No matter how exhausted or broken we feel, Jesus meets us as our rescuer, redeemer, and Savior—turning fear into hope, isolation into belonging, and hurt into healing. 1 John 4:7–21 reveals 4 ways Christ’s love is transformative in this way.
