How to find love –

yes, even on the Internet.

Are you looking for love? Do you think that you will never get the kind of love you want, because everyone has such high expectations? Everyone would like to find a love without limits. Since you were probably five years old, you've felt that if you hurt someone's feelings, they would stop loving you. Or if you broke some rules, somebody might stop loving you.

But God's love is different. God truly loves you, without any limits, no matter what kind of behavior you exhibit. That's because God's love (thank goodness!) Is that based on your performance. If it were, none of us would probably make the cut.

Instead, God's love is based on grace. His grace for you is free, because somebody else paid for it. That was Jesus Christ. In Hebrews, it tells us that Jesus is continually interceding on our behalf. Show me another person who not only gave his life for you, but continued to bargain on your behalf.

Better yet, God's love is for you individually. He knows you inside and out – and still loves you. He understands you better than you understand yourself – and still loves you. He knew you before you were even born.

God's love can see you through hard times, no matter how hard they are. If you have ever known human love, you know that it can make you feel happier than almost anything on earth. But God's love is 1000 times better. If you are going through hard times right now, that's the kind of love that you need. A love that will sustain you, no matter what.
