Love

God's love is the most rewarding love there is. He created us so that we could be his companions. From the very beginning God has wanted a personal relationship with us. (Genesis 3:9 - The Lord God called to the man, "Where are you?") He calls to us before we ever cry out to Him. And even though He can not stand sin, God has made away for us to rejoin Him and bask in His LOVE.

It took more love for God to give his Son to die than it would to die himself. You would a thousand times sooner die yourself in your son's place than have him taken away. If the executioner was about to take your son to the gallows, you would say, "Let me die in his stead; let my son be spared." Oh, think if the love God must have had for this world that he gave his only begotten Son to die for it. - Dwight L. Moody (1837-1899)
