If I am able to look at the world with the eyes of God's love and discover that God's vision is not that of a stereotypical landowner or patriarch but rather that of an all-giving and forgiving father who does not measure out his love to his children according to how well they behave, then I quickly see that my only true response can be deep gratitude.

What I do know with unwavering certainty is the heart of the father. It is a heart of limitless mercy.

The story of the prodigal son is the story of a God who goes searching for me and who doesn't rest until he has found me.

God loves us before any human person can show love to us. He loves us with a "first" love, an unlimited, unconditional love, wants us to be his beloved children, and tells us to become as loving as himself.

God is there. God's light is there. God's forgiveness is there. God's boundless love is there.

If you want to determine whether God loves you, don't look at your current situation; look to the cross.

I am Loved by the King, and it makes my heart want to sing!

Our first experience of God is so important, we either experience Him as the police guard that wants to punish or as Creative Love that awaits.

But the miracle of the redemptive reality of God is that the worst and the vilest offender can never exhaust the depths of His love.

God loves us and seeks our redemption, at times through angels.

The love of Jesus is the source of salvation. He loves, he looks, he touches us, we live.

Man can certainly flee from God... but he cannot escape him. He can certainly hate God and be hateful to God, but he cannot change into its opposite the eternal love of God which triumphs even in his hate.
