Love - Affection, devotion and worship...
Find God's Love
The Lord's love for us is so great that He sends us help, comfort, support, and wisdom whenever and wherever we need it. Many times we are so wrapped up in our sorrow that we fail to listen for God's soft voice speaking to us; or we are so busy trying to find our own comfort, that we fail to see the simple things He puts before us. It is such a blessing when we recognize God's love demonstrated in our lives.
The following essay is an unpublished work of a dear friend, John E. Deppen. John is a Civil War historian and is active with Gettysburg Civil War reenactments. He is also a column writer for the Daily Item newspaper in Sunbury, PA. Reading this essay, I was so taken by the beauty of the simple message of God's love, that John graciously gave permission for me to include it here:
God's Gift of Peace
We can take all things to God in prayer. There is nothing too great for God’s power; and nothing too small for his fatherly care. The perfect peace of God has the power to provide the strength we need to guide us toward healing when life has collapsed. Perfect peace is only given by God through prayer and entrusting ourselves and our loved ones to the loving hands of God.
God's Love...
It is because of Love that, from our deep sorrow, we feel overwhelmed with despair from grief;
AND
It is because of Love that, through Jesus, we can find hope, comfort and peace with our sorrow
