God's Love for You

The mother had given birth to her first child. As she held him in her arms, she said, "You don't know how much I love you, and my love for you will never end." As a child grows, he may experience more and more of a mother's love. As you grow in Christ, you are able to experience more and more of His. 

God's love comes to you through the Holy Spirit. Love is the very essence of God's nature. Love is the sure sign that you know God. The love of God within you is expressed in love for others. 

A world renowned theologian was asked, "What is the greatest theological discovery that you have ever made?" He paused and then said, "Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so." That is the greatest discovery you can make. Have you made that discovery? God loves you. He wants you to discover His love. He desires to love others through you. His love never ends.

"Now hope does not disappoint, 
because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts 
by the Holy Spirit who was given to us." 
Romans 5:5

"If we love one another, God abides in us, 
and His love has been perfected in us." 
1 John 4:12
