This study has been so renewing and refreshing for me. I have received so much from it so far and it's only been two weeks.. I wasn't able to study too much this week considering my mouth has been swollen from wisdom teeth (blah) However, I did get some great nuggets to share.

Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.
- 1 John 3:1
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> In other translations it replaces "Bestowed" with "Lavished" and "Great Love" So so beautiful! It amazes me every day that The Lord of lords and King of kings loves me. It's such an Amazing Love that just sweeps me away. I don't always feel His love.. In fact when things go wrong in our lives it can make it really difficult to feel anything from Jesus.. But take heart friend that His love isn't a feeling, it's truth. It's what we walk by faith to believe. Believing that Jesus doesn't love us because things our going wrong with whatever is the biggest lie from the devil.. Instead of being mad at Jesus for the worlds problems cling to Him and His love and have faith! He can't help you unless you give it to Him.

Though experiencing His love encounters are awesome we need to remember that His love for us is all the time and not just when we feel it! When you're at your worst He loves you just as much when you were at your best. He is for you friend and He loves you! If you are truly needing a love encounter this morning. I encourage you to listen to this song and just let Jesus take over. :) Love you guys.
Happy Spring btw!! It's hard for me to grasp the fact that it's Spring with the weather still being chilly! However, I'm going Spring shopping and hopping that will give our bi-polar weather a hint to warm up ;)
It's hard to believe this time last year my toddler was a baby still :)
They grow too fast, something you never realize until you have one (or two or three!) of your own!
