Hugs on an awesome Monday.

  Sending out hugs on this awesome Monday morning!!!!  You all have the best day ever.  I love y'all. 

 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  (John 3:16)

You know, I have said this verse over and over in my life, but something was pointed out to me in this that I had never thought of before a few days ago.  One of my children was hurt recently by someone.  Prior to that,  I had asked God to remove any obstacles from this child's life.  When He did, I got mad at that person.  Now that's crazy.  I had to really pray about this to get over it.  I knew that God was changing and molding my child's life for his future, and even though I knew that this person was not going to be part of that in my heart, my head got mad at what this person "did to my child", when really, God is doing a work that only He can do.    As I was driving down the road a few days ago, this verse came to mind.  It does not say "for God so loved Carmen", it says "For God so loved the world".  That hit me like a ton of bricks.  God let me know He loves this person I was mad at and really, in a way, judging.  He also let me know that he loves every person on the face of this earth just as much as He loves me and that if I do not sincerely love them, I have a big problem.  God does love the world.  He may not like what the world is doing, but he loves each and every person on the face of this planet just as much as He loves me...and you know what....that is a lot of love.

I get mad too..I try not to. Teddy gets mad sometimes at strangers who pull out in front of us. I said you know that's judging! We don't even know people sometimes and they make us mad.
We shouldn't but we are human. So glad GOD loves me - even when I do things I shouldn't.
I was born a sinner and God paid the price for you and me so we may have eternal life!! WOW!

I love you Momma!! YOU have a great day.
Please remember the Brakefield's in your prayers. Mr. Brakefield passed this morning we got the call before 6a.m. He is no longer in pain. But we will miss him.
Thanks for sharing this today sure makes one think.
I am hugging you tight.

Yeah, Coffee time,
Good Morning ladies. Love this topic! I remember very clearly the day God the Father showed me His Love towards me. I was driving down Hwy 98 in Desitn Fl going to a conference at CI when He came and gave me a big hug. It was so awesome. I then understood Love. I am not an emotional person. I am an analytical type. I knew that I loved my husband and children, I would defend them to the death but I didn't have that butterfly gooshy love feelings. Since then I have more of that kind of love I see them in a different light. I see others in a different light. It helped my in ministry to see the pain in others when they haven't been loved properly. Love has been the topic on many sermons at the jail. I would say ALL those ladies at the jail have never been loved by others properly. most of them have been raped or molested and their husbands, boyfriends, and fathers have told them they are ugly, useless and disgusting. So when I tell them about the Fathers Love they are healed, filled and delivered from some of the pain they are carrying around. God's Love is AMAZING it covers a multitude of sins...
God Bless you ladies today
Walk in His Love

Good morning dear Friend!  I'm so glad I was LOVED!  I AM LOVED!  God IS LOVE.  

I'm FULL of love this morning.  I love you and Mr. John.  It is so ironic that your post and my coffee talk started off the same.  God wants SOMEONE to know they are loved.  He knows I did not read this until now and I KNOW that someone needs to hear/read this today.  

God bless you and HUGS are coming your way this a.m.!  Have the most blessed day in the day of your life today!

He loves me too. Good morning. Big Froggy hugs to you. Have a Blessed day. Love ya Ellen

It is good to be loved.  One craves it from the people in this world--and it is a good thing when it happens.  It is good to feel the love of the almighty God--and it is good when his love is spread among the believers in this world.  Some people would feel no love except those of God's children who love in spite of faults, appearance, social status, or wealth.  They love just because God is love.
