I find it a sad thing when people don't realized how much God LOVES them. I guess I never had trouble understanding that, or accepting the Bible as truth for that matter... But when people think that they have to do something to attain God's LOVE... that if they do something wrong they've lost His perfect LOVE, that's not at all true! People tend to forget that God's LOVE is unconditional. Nothing we can say or do will make God LOVE us any more or any less. He LOVES everything about us. We are created in His image, we are His reflexion. How could He not LOVE something He created so perfectly? Yes we have flaws and sins and we do not often love God in return.... But He is always seeking us and trying to show us His LOVE. ( That's perfect grace right there.) He has the perfect plan for us! He wants to see us happy. He wants to see us following Him. He wants to shower His LOVE onto us. In fact, He is, right at this very moment, showering LOVE on us! On me, on you, on us! He's saying, "Hey, my beLOVEd child, whom I created and am well pleased with, I LOVE YOU!" Yes, it makes me very sad when people think they have to earn God's LOVE or that He doesn't LOVE them anymore -- that is simply not true -- because He does LOVE them.... He LOVES us very much. He LOVES you very much.

"Dearest friends [beloved], let us love one another, for love is (springs) from God... God is love. In this the love of God was made manifest (displayed) where we are concerned: in that God sent His Son, the only begotten or unique [Son], into the world so that we might live through Him. In this is love: not that we loved God but that He loved us as and sent His Son to be the propitiation (the atoning sacrifice) for our sins.. Dear friends [beloved], since God loved us so [very much], we also ought to love one another... But if we love one another, God abides (lives and remains) in us and His love (that which is essentially His) is brought to completion (to its full maturity, runs its full course, is perfected) in us!" - 1 John 4:7-12 (amplified version)
