LOVE

“The Lord your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save;

He will rejoice over you with gladness,

He will quiet you with His love,

He will rejoice over you with singing." 

Zephaniah 3:17

 “For God so lo_Ved the world

           that He g_Ave

                His on_Ly

                begott_En

                      So_N

                          _That whosoever

          believeth _In Him

              should _Not perish

           but have _Everlasting life”

                                   John 3:16     

God loved us first.  He loves the world.  He loves whosoever unconditionally.  All are called.  It is not about us and what we have done or are doing.  No one can be perfect or righteous in and of himself.  It is by God’s GRACE alone, through the sacrifice of His Son, that we are seen as righteous by God through the filter of Christ.  This Agape, Unconditional LOVE is the love that God wants us to manifest in our human lives.  There is no way we can express this kind of love to others until we have experienced the ONE who loved us first!  God is LOVE.  Faith in Him is a gift.  It is up to us, each whosoever, to receive the gift.  All who have heard God’s plan of Salvation have a free will choice to believe or reject His plan.  He wants us to know how to love because we know Him and have experienced His Love in our lives.  He wants us to Believe, Receive, turn to God and turn away from our human wrongdoings.  When we are filled with God’s love, only then can, agape and unconditional love flow through us touching the lives of others; on Valentine’s Day and everyday.

I dedicate this to you Heidi.  You knew God and His Son. You are in His everlasting arms.  We love you!
