The love I have for my children is so immense it's unexplainable.
With that said........Can you even begin to imagine the kind of love that our Father in Heaven has for us? Knowing that he loves us even more than we love our own children?
I truly wish more people knew this unfathomable kind of love.
Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. (John 15:13)
Jesus Himself fulfilled this greatest love by dying for us so that we could be forgiven of all our sins and have fellowship with God

That is such a beautiful and sweet analogy. I agree. I can't imagine anyone being able to love more than the love I have for my children but God's love through Christ Jesus is unfathomly deeper. God bless you for this nice question.

We say that man is an image of GOD. We do not limit GOD to human stature though, we understand the greatness of GOD in the vast universe full of wonder and beauty which is beyond our comprehension in its fullness.
To the same extent human LOVE is an image of DIVINE LOVE but how much greater is DIVINE LOVE which is immortal and eternal, omniscient and omnipresent? I don't think the human heart could fathom, understand, nor full contain DIVINE LOVE. King David being filled with DIVINE LOVE danced before the ARK OF THE COVENANT because he could not contain the LOVE which GOD imparted to HIM.
The Song of Songs is a powerful book of LOVE affectionate LOVE between CHRIST and the CHURCH the BRIDE and the BRIDEGROOM.
-LOVE your neighbor as yourself.
Amen.

Tell me about it.
I have a 7 month old little girl who is stuck in South America.
People who have not experience this kind of love can not understand God. Many Confuse love with sex drive.

I agree with all you said and you know what. We must Love God enough to obey Him. Jesus sacrificed unto death for us, and how dare we give him words of love then give Him disobedience?? WE must be willing to die daily to self and surrender it all to God. WE must be willing to sacrifice unto death for Jesus, even if we never have to do that, we must want to do that for our Lord.
How dare we give Him less than He gives to us.
There is no other love like Jesus. total unconditial love and forgivness. The only reason some will go to hell is by their own choice by serving the devil instead of God. GOd has to do something with them. What would He do, let them come to Heaven with us and make heaven what its like here now? God forbid.
We are to be like Jesus, think like Jesus, love like Jesus, forgive like Jesus and desire only to be more like Him as we live our lives here telling others about Him.
Fellow Christians, this girl is right.
Give God all of our hearts, and not just some. Give as He gave and all will be added unto you.
Blessings come from obedience, and disobedience still leads to curse. that never chagned.
Run to Jesus today and start a new life with Him today, not too late. Jsut ask. and receive. Then do as He says, and you will be so blessed. and Heaven will await you. YUM> Passion for Jesus?? You betcha.

You are on the path to eternal happiness with our Lord and Jesus Christ. You are a blessing to Jesus for speaking this way. You are enlightened and wise. People can not know unless they want to accept under their own will. It is a shame to think of all these people on hee who deny Jesus as their saviour!!!

I think about that too. I love my children so much and can't imagine anyone or any being that could love more than me. However, our Father loves us more. It is mind boggling and hard to believe that He could love MORE (but He does).

I totally agree with you. My parents still love me, and I've done sooooooooooo much wrong, and then God He loves me even more? He actually died for me!!! sometimes I try to just understand God's love, and it's like impossible for me to understand, and just end up saying what I usually say about God. God is awesome!!!!

Yes I agree. I don't have kids, but I do know how much my own father loves me.
