The scriptures are filled with evidence of the love of God. Consider the following text from the word of God " that ye may be sons of your Father who is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sendeth rain on the just and the unjust. " Matthew 5:45. We as humans tend to be respecters of persons in that we freely shower gifts, praise and well wishes on those whom we like. But God sets the example for us in that he freely gives the necessities to all even those who oppose Him. It could be said that God practices what he preaches for He does indeed love his enemies. Luke 6:35 "But love your enemies, and do them good, and lend, never despairing; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be sons of the Most High: for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil." Wow! what a powerful example of love!
However the most powerful example of God's love is found in John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life." This is the ultimate show of love for us, His creation.
Why Does It Matter?

He remembers what the squall was, but his mom and dad never even had a
clue. Not even when the event took place. There is nothing quite like the
experience...

Josiah, When we stop to think on how much God has given...it should make us humble. I can't understand why. Even the best people among us are still sinful--full of sin. And I just can't understand what God sees in us to cause that amount of love from him. Deboraw
