John 3:16-21

There really is not much to say other than I am loved by God. He loves me so deeply and passionately the only gift He saw fit to give was a perfect one: the gift of life... on earth and eternally. The only payment made was a pure one. Perfect and pure love is Christ Jesus our Savior. He died to save, not to judge. He died for life, not death. It is a recognizable love, yet so many live as if they are unloved. I have lived as though I was unloved at times. It hurts not only those living that way but also those who love them.

The darkness is more comfortable for those living unloved. It is a blanket that covers fear. Nobody can see the truth in the darkness. The only one who can see truth in darkness is Light. Light knows all. Light reveals all. Living unloved is living in dark, not recognizing that stepping into light would reveal the real person in the darkness but we would still be loved. Stepping into light is stepping into love. There is no need to live unloved in the light. Living loved in the light is how God wants us to live... accepting that gift of love already offered on the cross.

"For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.

There is no judgment against anyone who believes in him. But anyone who does not believe in him has already been judged for not believing in God's one and only Son. And the judgment is based on this fact: God's light came into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil. All who do evil hate the light and refuse to go near it for fear their sins will be exposed. But those who do what is right come to the light so others can see that they are doing what God wants."
