It's a love thing

This is my daddy. He sure does love me a lot, but there's something that amazes me about my parents' love for me. As much as my mommy and daddy love me, Jesus' love for me goes way beyond that. Isn't that crazy?! Can you imagine having a God that loves us so much? It makes me smile thinking about it. This is how much God loves us -

1 John 3:1a
"How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!"

John 3:16-17
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him."

God's love is proven through out the Bible, but these are a couple of my favorite examples. God is not the angry tyrant people like to imagine him as, he loves us so much that he sent Jesus to die just to save our lives! Does that sound like an angry God to you? He showed the greatest form of love that ever existed. Just like my daddy gives me kisses to show me that he loves me, God showers blessings upon us to show his love for us as well. It feels pretty good to have that much love. :)
