“Jesus replied: ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ Matthew 22:37 The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God and so we are. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save he will rejoice over you with gladness he will quiet you by his love he will exult over you with loud singing. ~ John 3:16īut God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. ~ 1 John 4:7īut God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ-by grace you have been saved ~ Ephesians 2:4-5 ~ Psalm 86:15īeloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. ~ 1 John 4:8īut you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness. ~ 1 John 4:19Īnyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.

And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. Therefore our prayers should consist mainly of rousing our awareness of God's love for us rather than trying to rouse God's awareness of our love for him, like the priests of Baal on Mount Carmel ( 1 Kings 18:26-29).” ~ Peter Kreeft “Trusting God's grace means trusting God's love for us rather than our love for God. "But so is God's love and so are those arms he's holding out for you.” ~ Jenny B. Because it's real and visible and strong, " she said. You haven't held on to your anger and bitterness in search of healing, but as a banner of your hurt. “To truly try means to accept God's love, his healing, to accept the world can be ugly, but your heart doesn't have to be. The gospel says God will change us because He loves us.” ~ Tullian Tchividjian “Legalism says God will love us if we change. “We should be astonished at the goodness of God, stunned that He should bother to call us by name, our mouths wide open at His love, bewildered that at this very moment we are standing on holy ground.” ~ Brennan Manning He loves every one of us, even those who are flawed, rejected, awkward, sorrowful, or broken.” ~ Dieter F. Though we may feel lost and without compass, God's love encompasses us completely. Though we are imperfect, He loves us perfectly. “Though we are incomplete, God loves us completely.
