Children are so precious and close to the heart of God. To them love is all these things, natural, and simple. If we watch, and observe, we can learn a lot from children.
Matthew 11 : 25 At that time Jesus said, ” I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. ”
What does love mean to us as adults? To me God is love, and because he loves me, and I love him, I am able to love others. Without his love I would not be able to do that. His love is so powerful it spills over to incorporate, and penetrate, my life, and the world around me. How about you? What does love mean to you?
