    Love is a verb, it’s a word of action. The actress Joan Crawford once said “Love is a fire but whether it warms your heart or burns your house down, you can never tell!”

    God Love. Psalm 103:8-13 The reason I named this, God love, is because you have to know God love, before you can love God and others appropriately. If you’re ‘one’ that says, “I know God loves me but….” Until you truly understand that nothing can separate you from Gods love, confusion dominates. ...read more
