When we think of love in general, we often times tend to think of romantic love immediately. But have we ever think of God’s love first? God’s love is different from other kinds of love. It’s not all hearts and flowers or warm and fuzzy, it really goes beyond that. His love is so vast, deep, and wide. His love comforts us in times of loneliness and despair. It never fails and it always- always, forgive.
