And I want to add this: in so many ways, He tells each of us that He wants our love, cares about us, wants our lives filled with joy. He tells us that He will be with us, and suffer with us, through our hard times, that He will be there at the end of our brief earthly life waiting to welcome us to His Forever Home in Heaven with all the extravagant and thrilling Glory He has prepared for those who love Him...
It bears repeating. Amen, that is beautiful. :)
