No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. ~ 1 John 4:7īut God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ-by grace you have been saved ~ Ephesians 2:4-5 ~ Psalm 86:15īeloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. ~ 1 John 4:8īut you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness. ~ 1 John 4:19Īnyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. Therefore our prayers should consist mainly of rousing our awareness of God's love for us rather than trying to rouse God's awareness of our love for him, like the priests of Baal on Mount Carmel ( 1 Kings 18:26-29).” ~ Peter Kreeft “Trusting God's grace means trusting God's love for us rather than our love for God.

Though we may feel lost and without compass, God's love encompasses us completely. Though we are imperfect, He loves us perfectly. “Though we are incomplete, God loves us completely. However, if you realize that God is a best friend that stands beside you when others cast stones you will never be afraid, never feel worthless and never feel alone.” ~ Shannon Alder “There will always be someone willing to hurt you, put you down, gossip about you, belittle your accomplishments and judge your soul. “Even Kings and emperors with heaps of wealth and vast dominion cannot compare with an ant filled with the love of God.” ~ Guru Nanak We can fully embrace God's love only when we recognize how completely unworthy of it we are.” ~ Ann Tatlock “Riches take wings, comforts vanish, hope withers away,but love stays with us.
