God Is Love

And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. — 1 John 4:16 

Yesterday my little brother turned 55!

Hard to believe that when my parents adopted him he couldn't even come home with us from the hospital.

He was a premee - premature so he had to stay in the hospital for a few weeks.

When he finally came home, he wouldn't smile.

So my sister and I would smile big grins at him every time we held him or peered into his crib.

Today he's big and tall and can't keep a smile off his face.

Quite a contrast to when we first met him.

Now people tell us they can tell we're related.

We smile and thank them.

I take it as a nice compliment!

And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.

God is love.

And His love penetrates our homes and hearts.
