I Corinthians 13:4-8

Love is patient, love is kind, and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in un- righteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all thing, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.

I John 4:16

And we have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.

My Child,
I came to give you love. There is no greater love on this earth than the love that I possess for you. I took off my crown of righteousness and replaced it with a crown of thorns so that you could live with Me now and forever. I did not have to do this; I wanted to.

I desire to sit with you, walk with you, talk with you, and listen to you. I can take care of your worries, your hurts, your dreams—“Cast them all on me because I care for you “ (I Peter 5:7). There is not one person on this earth that can “out-friend” Me.

My Child,
I am your Prince of Peace. Realize I have the power and authority to calm every “storm” that arises in your heart and mind. Cry out to Me and I will answer. The “wind and the waves” might continue in your circumstances, but My incomprehensible peace will be ever present in your soul.

Immanuel
