Because of Love, God’s love, we experience hope.
I would hate to live in a world without hope. I’d miss the smiling faces and laughter. People without hope might conclude life wasn’t worth living. Thankfully, we have hope. And lots of it every moment of every day. God’s love is our continual, unconditional, source of hope.
Because of Love is a beautiful gift book full of stunning photography and short, uplifting, poetry. With only 28 pages, this is the perfect gift for anyone on your gift list. There is no gender, racial, or political bias to be found. God loves us all and in the same measure. The rich don’t receive more love than the poor. The poor are not privileged to more love, either. The color of our skin doesn’t keep God’s love from reaching us. He created us all in His image and declared it, “Very good.”

Because of Love reminds people of how very special we all are
Love remains even on days that deliver rejection or we’re acting less lovable than we ought to. The experience opens the door for false truths to interrupt our thoughts. A negative self-image can settle in. Maybe we failed that day, let someone down, or were harshly spoken to.
Those feelings are not the truth about how loved we really are by the One who created our being. He loves us always. People we love might not always return our love and will sometimes withhold love. Their reasons vary but God’s not a fickle Father to His children. Even if tough love is warranted, it is for our good.
Take these verses to heart. These foundational truths are the force needed to keep-on keeping-on in life’s journey. Let’s never forget how strongly we are held in the grip of love’s Holy arms no matter the circumstances.
Romans 8:37-39 (NIV) No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 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 o God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Psalms 100:5 (NIV) For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.
