English: King James Version (1611) - KJV

WP-Bible plugin *NIV

Sadly, as you know this World is filled with people who feel unloved, and will do almost anything to find it. What a shame it is that they do not know God, for it is written: GOD IS LOVE. WHOEVER LIVES IN LOVE LIVES IN GOD, AND GOD IN HIM. 1 JOHN 4:161 JOHN 4:16
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

After all, whether they know it or not, everyone is surrounded by God's Great Love for it is like the oxygen we breathe; there is plenty of it for each of us, and still so very many are starving for it!

Why not reach out to another today, and share a little of God's love with them. After all Jesus said: "YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF." ( MATTHEW 19:19MATTHEW 19:19
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV

17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.

After all sharing God's Love is as simple to do as saying thank you to a store clerk, or just smiling at another and saying "How are you today!" Little acts of kindness like these go along way towards brightening up another's day, and by doing such things it brightens our day as well!

So, the next time you pray thank God for filling you with His Love, and remember to GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD, FOR HE IS GOOD; HIS LOVE ENDURES FOREVER. Amen! PSALM 136:1PSALM 136:1
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
136 ¹ O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
