"Love is the sum of all virtue, and love disposes us to good." - Jonathan Edwards
And here is to you having a wonderful weekend ! This post is about love - again. So much can be said about love that it is impossible to put it all in one blog post. Now I will focus primarily on how much God loves us using Scriptures, videos, and my own reflections on the subject.
Below is a video that shows how much Jesus loves us.
"Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins." - I John 4:10
"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." Jesus speaking at John 15:13.
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." - John 3:16
We humans cannot totally comprehend the great love God has for us; God is love, it is His very nature. I John 4:8, 16. Everything He does is out of love; yes, even when He disciplines us or allows hardships to overcome us. Because trials and hardships help mold us into what God desires us to become; we can grow spiritually from His correction.

When I consider all that God and Jesus have done for me and all true believers, it fills me with so much love and gratitude that I could never explain the depth of it all in words. What amazing love ! Even when I am experiencing trials, I still have peace in my soul because of the Lord's great love and the fact that I am aware of His presence and helping hand.
"Doubt not His grace because of thy tribulation, but believe that He loveth thee as much in seasons of trouble as in of happiness." - Charles Spurgeon
