JOHN 3:16

"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."

We are part of the world-- so it can read

"For God so loved [YOU], that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

Such a simple scripture, but such great truth! Who knows what days we have here. Who knows how long we have?! But we need not perish on our own time... but we can have life that is everlasting. That means today- my life today can be everlasting. My problems/afflictions/hardships/trials won't make me perish- because HE has given HIS Son for me! With the gift of his Son comes

EVERLASTING:

kindness
patience
faith (in us and for us)
love
charity
peace
mercy
justice
happieness
long suffering
hope
gentleness
goodness
forgiveness
understanding
vision
bridegroom

...all that the Savior is! All of that, for us, in an everlasting way - BECAUSE God loved(s) you! Loved(s) me.

When living His will, there will be no perishing on HIS time watch! We just need to make sure we are living HIS time/HIS will/His way!

Today, is a beautiful day!
