God is Love

"We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him" 
-- 1 John 4:16 / New American Standard Bible

The Bible makes this promise:  God is love.  It is a sweeping statement, a profoundly important description of what God is and how He works.  His love is perfect.  When we open our hearts to His perfect love, we are touched by the Creator's hand, and we are transformed.  Today, even if you can only carve out a few quiet moments, offer a sincere prayer of thanksgiving to your Creator.  He loves you now and throughout eternity. Open your heart to His presence and His love.

"Even when we cannot see the why and wherefore of God's dealings, we known that there is love in and behind them, so we can rejoice always"
-- J. I. Packer

Lord, even when it seems to us that You are far away.  You never leave our side.  Today and every day, we will strive to feel Your presence, and we will strive to sense Your love for us.
