Oh How I Love Thee! (#1)

There is the old familiar poem by Elizabeth Barrett Browning which states:
“How Do I Love Thee? Let me count the ways.”

The poem goes on to enumerate the ways. Those words are probably repeated more than any other part of the poem. In fact, those are the only words I can remember.

Over the next few days meditate with me on how much God loves us and how He has displayed that wondrous love. Then we will consider the impact this love should have on our lives.

God looks upon us -- “How do I love you? Let me help you count the ways.”
“(16) For GOD SO LOVED the world, that HE GAVE HIS ONLY SON, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. (17) For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.” ( John 3:16-17 ESV)

Jesus came and became a living illustration of God’s great love for us. Is there any room to question the validity of that love? Oh, how He loves us!

Have a great day focused on God’s LOVING WAYS!
