Perfect love. Perfect man.

Ello lovelys, hope your day is going just dandy. Here's what's been running through my head today.

  Say you had a man that was madly in Love with you, and litterally saved your life but in the process of saving you, he died. and you find out he had all these love letters that he had written to you! (like in the Notebook, except Ryan Gossling didn't die in that. ha)  wouldn't you want to read them?!?
Well beloved, you do. His name is Jesus Christ and he has written a boat load of love letters to you. It's called the Bible. Now the beauty of Christ is yes, he died for you so that you could live life and live it to the fullest. Buuuut. He also rose from the grave, lives inside you, and all he wants to do is spend time with you!
The creater of the world wants to spend time with me?  How amazing is that?!

God's sitting there waiting for you to spend time with Him...What are you waiting for?
Like, really, what do you really have to do that's more important or could add more eternal value to your life. If you would just sit down and read/listen you'd be amazed at what God will show you at the perfect time, when you or someone else really needs to hear something, God will use you to show His Truth.


7 Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. 8 But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
9 God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. 10 This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.
11 Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other. 12 No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is brought to full expression in us.
13 And God has given us his Spirit as proof that we live in him and he in us. 14 Furthermore, we have seen with our own eyes and now testify that the Father sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 All who confess that Jesus is the Son of God have God living in them, and they live in God. 16 We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love.
God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them. 17 And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world.
18 Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love. 19 We love each other[b] because he loved us first.
20 If someone says, “I love God,” but hates a Christian brother or sister,[c] that person is a liar; for if we don’t love people we can see, how can we love God, whom we cannot see? 21 And he has given us this command: Those who love God must also love their Christian brothers and sisters

1 John 4:7-20
