God does not 'love' us without liking us.

Be not afraid. God loves you & wants us to love one another as He loves us. As miserable, weak and sinful as we are, He loves us with an infinitely faithful love.

God's love in John 3:16 is not amazing because the world is so big, but because the world is so bad.

Love is the most characteristic and comprehensive act of the human being. We are most ourselves when we love; we are most the People of God when we love. But love is not an abstract word defined out of a dictionary. In order to love maturely we have to live and absorb and enter into this world of salvation and freedom, find ourselves in the stories, become familiar with and follow the signposts, learn the life of worship, and realize our unique identity as the People of God who love.

Yes, I'm a miserable, wretched sinner, but He loves me. And to Him, I'm His child, and I can walk in that love and that understanding.

It is staggering that God should love sinners, yet it is true.

It is only love which makes us acceptable to God.

Sin comes from not realizing God's love. Sin comes from thinking ourselves only as sinners, while overcoming sin comes from thinking ourselves as overcomers. We act our our perceived identities.

Christ's love and friendship are no illusion. On the Cross Jesus showed how real they are.

We are the sum of the Father's love for us

True love is a reflection of the Savior's love. In December of each year we call it the Christmas Spirit.

Listen, God loves everything you love, and a mess of stuff you don't.
