This is Love

 Sometimes I have a hard time with………. 

and wish I was better at just doing THIS


but then I remember His


“This is how God showed his love among us:  He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.  This is love: not that we loved God,  but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.”  
I John 4:10,11

  3. L.O.V.E. I think we can find the 'message' in just about anything can't we?

  4. Dear Jody
    Oh, when we battle with self control, we can just hand the reigns of our lives over to Jesus and allow Him to control our lives!!

  5. LOVE It… I would imagine if we really truly look around there are messages just waiting for us to see and experience everyday.

  6. Exactly! It seemed like I kept hearing Jesus speaking from the kitchen, the desk, the medicine cabinet, everywhere. He always is, yes?
