Period.

                God loves us. Period.

                Many times, people try to earn God's love or credit themselves for God's love by doing deeds or acting a certain way. This type of thinking is wrong. It is an insult to God to think that He is so trivial that a simple prayer or a few hours of service a week will make Him love you, as if He were so easily amused. First of all, He is omniscient. He knows all that there ever is to know, past, present, and future. He knows your heart and He knows your motives. He is omnipotent and sovereign over all. There is nothing that He cannot do or cannot have. This means that there is nothing that we have that will make Him love us. Not a thing.

                God's love is so much deeper than ours, because He is so much deeper than us. We are, essentially, shallow. We ask for unconditional love but constantly give conditional love. We love, as long as... until... because of... only if... when... as often as... etc.

                God, on the other hand, loves you. Period. There is nothing else to it. His love is eternal, unconditional, and limitless. There is nothing deeper than His love and nothing greater than it, and there are no conditions on it.

                God loves you. Period.
