For those of us who had wonderful parents, understanding love is pretty easy. For those who did not, love is a learned habit. He loved us all before the universe was even created. He created us to be in His family and never wants one soul to perish. We all grow up, but not everyone grows spiritually. God IS love. In order to feel loved and to love in return, we must get to know God and, in the process, we learn to experience His love and how to love others. Don’t worry about your past sins….all have sinned and fall short of God’s qualities. However, we can learn to become more like the One who redeemed us from the pawn shop of sin – Jesus.
