God’s Unconditional Love By Jeanne Theriault
1John 4:8 Whoever does not love does not know God because God is love. 16And so we know and rely on the love of God has for us.
1Corinthians 13:4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrong. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails.
Psalm 52:8 I trust in God’s unfailing love for ever and ever.
