Sharing thoughts

There have been several thoughts that had meant to share, but...we were traveling, and so there wasn't the opportunity. It was a truly wonderful journey, visiting family, friends, and having the joy of seeing our oldest grandson graduate from Washington and Lee University. Precious memories - how sweet and loving is our Father to have given us these opportunities. I am still learning how to use a blog (did publish a post before we left on our trip, but...for some reason, it didn't seem to find a spot. And now - it is gone. Oh well...) It was special to be reminded of just how Father loves us. Agape love...Agape is love even for that which is not desirable. It is love that has nothing to do with the characteristics of the person whois loved. It is love that is totally dependent on the nature of the one who feels and gives the love. God loves people, not becauseof what they do, or feel, or believe, or are, but because of what God Himself is and thus feels. In I John 4:8 we read, “God is love.” This agape is the very nature of God, and it causes Him to love us with a different, unlimited, unconditional love. WOW! UNlimited. UNconditional. And His love never - NEVER - ends, fails, or gives up. Hallelujah!!
