“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Jn. 3:16
My wife and I were talking the other night how when we say “I love you” to each other, we can’t help but say, “I love you” back. Then a thought came to me and I said to Joy, I never heard God say to me that He loves me. Then I began to think that I never read in the gospels where Jesus said directly to anyone that He loves them. But, I answered my own thought and I said to Joy, God never said to me that He loves me, He just showed it to me. The point behind this is, “Demonstrated Love far Surpasses Verbal Love.”
