God Is Love

"God is Love" 1 John 4:16

God is Love and when I begin to recognize His presence in all things I see His love for me breaking through my grouchy attitude, stressed schedule, irrational fears and selfish ambition. His love is screaming to me every day, all around me and in me and through me. I pray I would have open eyes to see Him more clearly every day. I pray that I would see His love and bask in the freedom that comes from knowing, because I know that I know that I am loved by my Creator eternally.

Glimpses of His love in the last few days and evidence of His presence...
