During your group, how many in the room are experiencing the enthusiastic LOVE that God has for us all?

Romans 8:38

I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. 

"The love of Christ is not a thing of the past, nor of the future, but of the present. It is not something that comes and goes, but something that stays." - A.W. Tozer

"Christ's love is not a sentiment, but a fact; not an emotion, but an historical reality." - J.I. Packer

"Self-rejection is the greatest enemy of the spiritual life because it contradicts the sacred voice that calls us the “Beloved.” Being the Beloved expresses the core truth of our existence." -Henri Nouwen

St. Ignatius of Loyola notes that sin is unwillingness to trust that what God wants is our deepest happiness.

“Daring to accept myself and receive love for who I am in my nakedness and vulnerability is the indispensable precondition for genuine transformation.” -David Benner

"Learn much of the Lord Jesus. For every look at yourself, take ten looks at Christ. He is altogether lovely. Such infinite majesty, and yet such meekness and grace, and all for sinners, even the chief. Live much in the smiles of God. Bask in His beams. Feel His all-seeing eye settled on you in love, and repose in His almighty arms. . . . Let your soul be filled with a heart-ravishing sense of the sweetness and excellency of Christ and all that is in Him."

-Robert Murray McCheyne
