...and this is LOVE

"We LOVE because HE first loved us." -1 John 4:19

"This is LOVE: not that we loved God, but that HE loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins." -1 John 4:10

Beloved, nothing shall take the love of Christ from you, or separate you from it. It does not ebb with the ebbing of your feelings; it does not chill with the chill of your affections; it does not change with the changing scenes and circumstances of your life.
