John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
God’s love is not mere fondness or family love and certainly not love the world knows.
God’s love arises out of God’s grace.
It’s a love that can’t be bought.
It’s a love that is powerful, eternal, redemptive, and undeserved.
It’s a love that has no counterpart in the universe.
We are never more like the Father than when we love like He loves; forgive like He forgives; blesses like He blesses; walk like He walked.
God’s love is precious beyond words!
My Savior’s Love

I stand amazed in the presence — Of Jesus the Nazarene, —
And wonder how He could love me, — A sinner, condemned, unclean.
Chorus:
How marvelous! How wonderful! — And my song shall ever be. — How marvelous! How wonderful! — Is my Savior’s love for me!
For me it was in the garden — He prayed: “Not My will, but Thine.” — He had no tears for His own griefs, — But sweat drops of blood for mine.
In pity angels beheld Him, — And came from the world of light — To comfort Him in the sorrows — He bore for my soul that night. —
He took my sins and my sorrows, — He made them His very own; — He bore the burden to Calv’ry, — And suffered and died alone.
When with the ransomed in glory — His face I at last shall see, — ’Twill be my joy through the ages — To sing of His love for me.
Charles H. Gabriel 1905
