TIS THE MONTH OF LOVE !
there are so many people/places/things i LOVE. it is A LOT. trust me !
this past week i have been focusing on THE LOVE OF GOD.
how fitting for the DAY OF LOVE .. valentines day !
i LOVE these Scriptures ..
1 John 4:7,9-11,16,18-19
"Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God."
"In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him."
"Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins."
"Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another."
"And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him."
"There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love."
"We love him, because he first loved us."
2 Nephi 1:15
"But behold, the Lord hath redeemed my soul from hell; I have beheld his glory, and I am encircled about eternally in the arms of his love."
we learn a lot about the love of our Heavenly Father from John and Nephi !
i LOVE love. i LOVE knowing my Heavenly Father loves me eternally, He sent us His Son so that through Him we could live with Him again. i know my HF loves me enough to help me keep going, growing and changing so that i can be a little more prepared each day so i can return home to live with Him. it is all b.c. of LOVE.
