Knowing God’s Love

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

Love is demonstrated, not just said. Love goes ahead sharing itself instead of waiting until things are easy or safe. Love redeems when all hope seems lost. Love is not only what God is, but it is also what he does and what he gives.

Journey

. Matthew 10:10

no bag for the journey or extra shirt or sandals or a staff, for the worker is worth his keep

. Mark 13:34

It’s like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants  in charge, each with their assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch.

. Luke 11:6

a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have no food to offer him.’

Kiss

. Psalm 2:12

Kiss his son,  or he will be angry

 and your way will lead to your destruction,

 for his wrath  can flare up in a moment.

 Blessed  are all who take refuge  in him.

. Proverbs 24:26

An honest answer

 is like a kiss on the lips.

. Proverbs 27:6

Wounds from a friend can be trusted,

 but an enemy multiplies kisses.

Thought

. Hearts that feel and eyes that smile

Are the dearest gifts that Heaven supplies. - Thomas Moore
