God Demonstrates His Own Love Toward Us, In That While We Were Still Sinners, Christ Died For Us. —Romans 5:8.

In A Novel By Jonathan Safran Foer, One Of The Characters, Speaking Of New York’s Empire State Building, Said, “I Know This Building Because I Love This Building.”

That Statement Caused Me To Think About The Relationship Between Love And Knowledge. Whenever We Love Something, We Want To Know Everything About It. When We Love A Place, We Want To Explore Every Inch Of It. When We Love A Person, We Want To Know Every Detail Of His Or Her Life. We Want To Know What He Likes, How She Spends Her Time, Where He Grew Up, Who Her Friends Are, What He Believes. The List Is Endless. But Some Of Us Want To Be Loved Without Allowing Ourselves To Be Known. We’re Afraid That We Won’t Be Loved If We Are Truly Known.

We Don’t Have To Worry About That With God. His Love Is Far Superior To Ours: “God Demonstrates His Own Love Toward Us, In That While We Were Still Sinners, Christ Died For Us” (Rom. 5:8). Furthermore, He Makes Himself Known To Us. Through Creation, Scripture, And Christ, God Reveals His Character And His Love. Because God Loves Us In Spite Of Our Imperfections, We Can Safely Confess Our Faults To Him. With God, We Need Not Fear Being Known. That’s Why To Know God Is To Love Him. —Julie Ackerman Link

Be Still And Know That He Is God

For Pathways Steep And Rough,

Not What He Brings, But What He Is

Will Always Be Enough. —Anon.

There Is No Greater Joy Than To Know That God Loves Us.

May God Bless Nigeria, America And Israel And Take Care Of Us; May God Make His Face Shine Upon Us, And Be Gracious To Us; May The Lord Lift Up His Countenance Upon Us, And Give Us Peace, In Jesus Christ Name, We Pray! Amen!

May The Grace The Lord Jesus Christ, And The Love Of God, And The Fellowship Of The Holy Spirit Be With You All. Amen!
