Being reminded about the incredible power of God's love, and living as He intended, is the most powerful motivation to change.
God is love. He didn't need us. But he wanted us.
After learning to love God (worship), learning to love others is the second purpose of your life.
It’s not what you do, but how much love you put into it that matters.
God's LOVE is Like an Ocean; You can See its Beginning, but not its end.
There is nothing you can do that will make God stop loving you. You could try, but you simply can't do it - because his love for you is based upon his character and not on anything you do or say or feel.
The best use of life is love. The best expression of love is time. The best time to love is now.
The most desired gift of love is not diamonds or roses or chocolate. It's focused attention.
People may refuse our love or reject our message, but they are defenseless against our prayers.
I don't care whether you're Baptist, Buddhist, Mormon, Methodist, Jewish, Muslim, or no religion at all. Jesus Christ still loves you. You still matter to God.
Don't worry about what you don't have if you do have faith!
Lasting love extends grace. No relationship will make it without grace. The Bible tells us that this is part of love. You're not going to have a relationship unless you have forgiveness, mercy, patience, acceptance, grace. You've got to cut people some slack.
Remember how far you've come, not just how far you have to go.
God will never love you any less or more than he does right now because his love is based on who he IS,not what you've done.
