For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16).
But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved (Ephesians 2:4-5).
The LORD your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with his love, He will rejoice over you with singing (Zephaniah 3:17).
As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on His children (Psalm 103:13).
But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8).
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 8:38-39).
The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love (Psalm 103:8).
...put your hope in the LORD, for with the LORD is unfailing love and with Him is full redemption (Psalm 130:7).
We love because He first loved us (1 John 4:19).
...and you know what? I love you too.
I second the motion.
