God Loves You!

This month is the month of LOVE in the United States. My husband proposed to me on Valentine's Day in 1990! It's a romantic story ~ I'll share it sometime in the BLOG. Don't you hate that, someone starts to tell you something and then jumps to a whole new subject...

The whole theme for the website this month is LOVE, so what better place to start than God's Word. As I look through the Bible I find a very specific and direct definition for love.

Here is what I found:

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud, it is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

This answer come from 1 Corinthians 13:4-8a. Precious one, God is love. He loves you! He is patient with you, He is kind to you. God does not envy you ~ He does desire your heart. He does not boast that you are unworthy on your own to be with Him, He provided Jesus - He is no too proud to invite you into His family. He is not rude to you, He knocks on the door for you to invite Him in, He doesn't burst down the door and demand your love. He is definitely not easily angered. Once we repent through Jesus, He allows us to be washed as white as snow. He does not delight in the ways of Satan, He is TRUTH. God protects you, you can always trust Him. He provides hope, He never gives up on you. He will never fail you!

Now, my sweet wonderful women of God. These statements are true. They came directly from His Word. They are backed up in every pebble we glean from scripture. Live like you know it! You are loved and you are so precious to Him. This Valentine's Day enjoy TRUE love from the One who created it!
