God is Love

I love, because God loved me first.

There is a perfect explanation of God's love for us in 1 John 4:16-19. People always ask me why I'm so happy all the time and this scripture defines it. I am happy because God loves me and he loves all of us and his love for all of his children, all of us, is manifest everyday. For me his love is present in the beautiful fall foliage, in the smile of a friend, in the helpful hand of a passerby, in the scriptures, in my family, in music and in art. I think if you go around and look for ways God shows his love for you, you'll be amazed at how aware he is of your needs and how much he loves you. Try it :)
