28-33 times in 15 verses.
Is it Valentine’s Day and I missed it? Oh, no, it’s just an ordinary day for God. I just read fifteen verses in 1 John and, depending on the translation, read the word “love” twenty-eight to thirty-three times! Do the math. That’s about two times per verse. Love to verse…..2:1. (Yes, I recently just finished teaching about ratios.) I do believe that God “doublely” loves you!
He is love. He tells us to love. Love comes from God. He showed us love by sending His Son in this world so that we may have life eternally with Him. We are to not only love God, but others. Yes, even those we don’t really care to love. His love is expressed through us. We are to put our trust in His love. His love is made perfect in us and love through Him has no fear. Love, love, love, love all we need is love. (sing it now….da-da-da-da)
I found it quite appropriate for me today to read about love on this special day. Today is my man’s birthday. Happy Birthday, Tim. I LOVE you!!!!
Oh yea….Jesus LOVES me this I know, for the bible tells me so. He LOVES you too!
I hope you have a “lovely” day.
Blessings to you.
