What Incredible LOVE!

Hello dear ones,

I hope this week finds you in a state of awe; awe for our only true God, the one who loves you with such passion that He extends goodness to you every day.  I've been memorizing 1 Corinthians 13 and it is almost incomprehensible that we are loved this way.  I understand why Paul prayed his incredible prayer to the Ephesians: 

Ephesians 3:17-19
And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge-that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. NIV

If we only knew how much we were loved it would change our whole perspective on life and in relationships.  We wouldn't strive so hard to be accepted by others; it would be easier to forgive those who wrong us.  We would go around with a glow and others would wonder "what the heck have they been drinking?"  (Sorry, that snuck in there).  But, you know what I mean.

Keep each other in your prayers and know that each day brings us closer to the reality of heaven.  We are blessed.  See you Thursday at the Gillespie's house (6:45) and don't forget to write your letters so you can share with the group.  You are a blessing, Meribeth
