This is Love (part 3)

"Casting all your cares upon him, for he
cares for you (I Peter 5:7).  All our mistakes,
all our foolishness, all our disappointments,
all our failures, all our regret. all our shame,
all our pain and suffering, he will take every
sin when we bring it to him.  "For God so loved
the world that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believes in him shall not perish
but have everlasting life." (John 3:16).
As he said when he was crucified, "Father
forgive them for they know not what they do.
(Luke 23:34) Many times we don't understand
the impact of our decisions or actions and
we bring suffering too ourselves and others
as we make bad choices.  Still after all our
mistakes, all our bad decisions, God continues
to Love us and forgive us; he already has,
that's why Jesus said "It is finished."
(John 19:30).  He came to save us. "for the son
of man is come to save that which was lost."
(Matthew 18:11)  Its interesting to note
that Pastor Greg Laurie's story of how he
came to Christ is titled "Lost Boy".
"For by grace are you saved, through faith,
and that not of yourselves, it is the gift
of God.  Not of works, lest any man
shall boast." (Ephesians 2:8,9). Through it
all, and in spite of all the circumstances
God blessed me and my ex-wife with three
wonderful sons that she and her new husband
did a good job of raising, and I love them
and they love me.  Praise God!

Well documented James. Strangely I have just posted something about 'love' in Prose.

I will look later for your Part 1 and Part 2 of this.
