Hey everyone! How are you? I hope all is well!
[FYI: Agape is greek for love 
. In Christian theology agape is related to the love of God or Christ for mankind. This word represents divine, unconditional, self-sacrificing, active, volitional, and thoughtful love.]
When you feel unloved, ponder the Cross.
If you are looking for a definition, don’t
look in the dictionary; look to Calvary.
-Gary Vanderet
.
In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
1 John 4:10 (ESV)
.
Love that reaches up is adoration.
Love that reaches across is affection.
Love that reaches down is grace.
-Donald Grey Barnhouse

How Deep The Father’s Love For Us- Owl City (with lyrics)
Song written by Stuart Townend
| Lyrics: |
| How deep the Father’s love for us, How vast beyond all measure That He should give His only Son To make a wretch His treasureHow great the pain of searing loss, The Father turns His face away As wounds which mar the chosen One, Bring many sons to gloryBehold the Man upon a cross, My sin upon His shoulders Ashamed I hear my mocing voice, Call out among the scoffersIt was my sin that helf Him there Until it was accomplished His dying breath has brought me life I knoww that it is finishedI will not boast in anything No gifts, no power, no wisdom But I will boast inJesus Christ His death and resurrectionWhy should I gain from His reward? I cannot give an answer But this I know with all my heart His wounds have paid my ransom (REPEAT) |

Thank you Kevin for this post…. BEAUTIFUL. There is a good work here. And may the Lord bless you, indeed!
The Lord reminds me often… ‘It is not about you. It is all about ME. I AM Grace!’ And I am so blessed that it is Him, that is, and sounds the charge… to LOVE!
I repeat myself when I say “For all the things I’m not… there’s Jesus! For all the things I am… there’s Jesus! For all… stands JESUS! “Behold, I [JESUS] stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.” [Revelation 3:20] And it is at this table with Jesus… Grace abounds! THANK THE LIVING GOD!
Lol… Love out loud in Christ!

Indeed, God’s grace is amazing!
-Blessing in Christ to you!
