Roses are red … that is the way most love stories begin. So too poetry. Many poems have been written with rhyming words.
My granddaughter surprised us once when she took hold out a family decoration. Each week we would write a verse on the board. Apparently it made an impression in her. She once secretly wrote her own verse (paraphrased for sure). “You should love and help ‘peopel’ all ways. Ellie. 3.16.”
The Bible tells of a love that is not conditional, rules based, or controlling. Love is the gift of sacrifice and service. We can know true love because God first loved us even enough to provide for our greatest need – grace and forgiveness.

John 3:16-17 reminds us: “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life. Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.”
Who do you love-unconditionally? How does it feel to be loved beyond condition? Have you received God’s love?
