The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea,
I have loved thee with
an everlasting love:
therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. Jeremiah
31:3
He loved like that before the cross. . .
Before John 3:16
So don't be blinded by what
you are going through!
or
By what you feel!
And he said unto me,
My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.
Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that
the power of Christ may rest upon me.
2 Corinthians 12:9
The red part was spoken by Jesus, the black was spoken by Paul
in the midst of trouble.
