Love of God

I wish I were eloquent and could appropriately say what is really in my head, but I feel like I usually end up rambling, so I forsee my thoughts being short and sweet :)
I agree on just wanting to quote the whole thing-since that won't accomplish much here are the main points that really stood out to me:

• I'm not sure I can get this thought out like I want it, but I'll attempt :) I couldn't stop thinking about how little we really know about it all. I know I can't truly comprehend how much we are truly loved. I catch glimpses of it fairly often. Okay, I really can't put it all into words...but it has a lot to do with how great His love is and how simple it really can be for us to truly love.
• I think one of my favorite quotes was: "Since 'God is love,' the closer we approach Him, the more profoundly we experience love." I followed the cross reference (1 John 4:7), continued on and found in verse 10: "Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His son to be the propitiation for our sins."
• I thought those two were going to be all but this one keeps popping into my head: "No, God does not need us to love Him. But oh, how we need to love God!" How spoiled are we? He has given us SO much as well as the possibility to be so much. The hardest part is overcoming the natural man (ourselves), but, oh, how sweet the reward.
