and tax collector to be His beloved friends and disciples to pass on His Word to the world. His love knew no limits even as He was being put to death on the cross for our sins, He took up a punishment that was OURS not His, but again it was about Love…GOD’s love. His love also rose Him from the dead, it was love that defeated sin and its grave punishment death that was meant for us. Then there is Paul, the writer of most of the New Testament. As you have read above, He was given the knowledge firsthand of what love truly is…what is does…what it does not do and out of faith, hope and love…that love is the greatest. What I want you as a reader to know is that love…. GOD’s love…is yours to have. Yes, you. Now I know what you are thinking…. how can GOD love me where I am? How could He love me with all the wrong I have done? Well, if He loved a drunk, misfits, tax collector…. a sinner like me, the one who is writing this now, surely and without a doubt He loves you. God’s love knows no bounds, it’s not limited to the chosen few, it is for all who accepts Him into their hearts. You are loved more that you can ever imagine it is up to you to take that love with both hands and hold on tight. I will leave you with these two scriptures and pray on them. This is how much God loves you…. GOD Bless you.

John 15:13 (NKJV)

13 Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.

John 3:16-17 (NKJV)

16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
