We #LOVE because HE first LOVED us
1 John 4:19

Father God, Your #SON LOVES us so, this we know because the #Bible tells us so. Even as a #child we recognized the power of words coming from our parents, also from grandma and grandpa. So we are #grateful for His selfless acts of LOVE! ✝️ Amen! 🙏

In chess, we are careful to protect our queen, build walls, and plan moves that make us invulnerable. That doesn't work in relationships. Love doesn't thrive behind defensive walls, but in the willingness to show one's vulnerability—to entrust one's heart to another, even if it might break.
