God's Love is for all

One thing that surprised me when I came out here, was the fact that people don't view God as a loving God. People view him as a vengeful, or angry God. Obviously this is not the case! "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." -John 3:16. He loves us! He sent his Son down here to take our punishment away from us. He took it from us, when he did absolutly nothing. He could of just not done the Atonement, which is what he did in the Garden of Gethsemane, the Cross, and ultimatly the Ressurection! He is really Love! He is the definition of Love! To have pure love is to be like Jesus Christ. He loved everyone, even if they were not making the best choices! He loved the sinners and hated the sin. He called everyone to have faith in his name, to repent, to be baptized, recieve the Holy Ghost, and to follow him in word, action, and deed. If any of us have true love, we have to have an eye single to the glory of God. To glorify him with our choices! You see, God never seperates himself from us, it's us! The choices we make either bring us closer to him or farther from him. He is still the same, He still has that same love! So this world would be so much better if we actually followed Christ's example and loved everyone. I can already see it! If everyone loved everyone, divorces would dry up. heh, divorce attorney's would have to seek employment elswhere! We would be happy! Everyone would have friends! No one would be left out. Love is the motor oil for missionary work! heh! I could try to put something else in the engine. It may work for a little bit, but in the end it would burn up! Love is the only driving force for missionary work. Not because we have to love everyone, because it's the only way it can work. It is my prayer that people start loving each other and seeing each other as they really are, as children of God. I testify of these things, in the name of the our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ, Amen.
