God is love. 1 John 4:8
After the US entered World War II in 1941, Estelle tried to talk her boyfriend Sidney out of joining the Army. But he enlisted and began his training in April of the following year. For the next 3 years he wrote her love letters.....525 in all. Then in March 1945, she learned that her beloved fianc had been killed in combat.
Although Estelle did eventually marry, the memories of her first love lived in her heart. To honor that love, she published a book of Sidneys wartime correspondence more than 60 years later.
Like those letters, the Lord has left us with reminders of His love....the Scriptures. He says: I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you (Jer. 31:3).
As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love (John 15:9).
The Bible also tells us that Christ . . . loved the church and gave Himself for her (Eph. 5:25).
[Jesus] gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us (Titus 2:14).
God is love (1 John 4:8).
Read Gods Word often and be reminded that Jesus loves you and died for you. (Anne Cetas)
