This being February, the month all about love, there are many messages that God wishes to send people. The central, overarching theme of each one is love, spoken with such consistent force that to do it justice means repeating it three times, “I love you;” again, “I love you;” and again, “I love you.” Do you get the message? God says “I love you,” even when we have turned against Him. He means no ill will and He seeks no vengeance when we play the rebel. If we suffer from our sins, it is because we have willfully rejected the blessings He offers, when we embrace His ways. He always seeks our best, never our worst. God says, “I love you,” when we have hit the wall and are living with the consequences of bad judgment or the injustices of others. He seeks a way to break through in order to assure us of His comfort and His desire to empower us to work things out. God says, “I love you,” when He calls us into a personal relationship with Him. He desires to be with us for eternity. In a world which often asks everything of us, it is enticing to know there is a God who comes alongside and emphatically says, “I love you, I love you, I love you,” unconditionally, fully and forever.

		For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16
