He First Loved Us

Monday Morning

"We love because He first loved us." -- I John 4:19

-- Exactly the way we are -- He loved us. 
-- Gave His One and Only Son for us.
-- To live among us.
-- To die -- to sacrifice His life for us.
-- But He rose again on the third day.
-- And now He sits at the right hand of God the Father interceding for us.
-- And He is still loving us, still caring for us, still wanting our best, and still believing in us.

"And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love.  Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him." -- I John 4:16

Bottom Line for this Monday Morning: God loves you! Know that. And because of His love -- we are able to love and care and want the best for others.  Amen? Amen.
