Merriam-Webster Dictionary


"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8

"God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. We love because he first loved us." 1 John 4:16-19

  3. Hi! I just found your blog through Natasha's link. :) I love this post - interestingly, my pastor preached on this topic this morning. It's so amazing to meditate on the love God showers on undeserving sinners, and being overcome by that love, desiring to share it with others.
