What's Love Got to do With It?



God so LOVED the world - such a familiar passage of scripture. But what does it really mean? In the Amplified Bible John 3:16 reads, "For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He even gave up His only unique Son... God loved me so much that He allowed His Son - who He greatly loved - to hang naked on a cross and die a death like no other. The One who knew no sin, die for me; He took my place so that I might live and have eternal life in Heaven.

God loved me so much, He says in His Word, He will never leave me or forsake me. (Deuteronomy 31:8) Friends and family may leave or forget but God never will. I am reminded of God's love for me during a time in my life when my heart was functioning at less than 30%. He was right there, He never left me. always reminding - "I will never leave you - Trust Me." It was a long road to full recovery but He walked beside me the whole way, leading me to the right doctors and specialists, the right treatments and medications. Today my heart function is normal and healthy - Praise God!

God's plans for those who love Him are far beyond anything we can ever imagine. We love because God first loved us.

God is there for you and me, He is always there - He never leaves us. Open up your heart and let Him in, all the way - don't hold back. God's love never fails - never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end. 1 Cor 13:8 (Amp) His love for us will never be shaken.
