The peace, comfort, and hope God gave me made me feel like I really was walking in his light; those spiritual blessings were constant reminders that God really did love me. He loved me enough to tuck his Word in my heart so I'd have it when my eyes could no longer read it.

God's Word does provide life lessons to teach us how to live. And it gives us beautiful poetry that gives voice to our human experience. And, yes, it does give us clear boundaries of what we should and shouldn't do so we can live our best lives.

God is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. It's all about love!

The really beautiful thing about each book of the Bible is that you can find God's love through each chapter because God is the author and God is love.

I think God gives us all that in his Word because he's a loving Father.

God shows us he loves us by giving us access to himself.

God's love is bigger than our failures and stronger than any chains that bind us.
