The word "love" is often used without much thought. We use it to describe our affections for everything from people ("I love Bette Midler") to food items ("I love chocolate ice cream") to items of clothing ("I love those shoes"). Human love is imperfect, and often based on how others respond to us and what others can do for us--a "strings-attached" kind of love. Ah, but perfect love... God Is Love. "...God is love."

Cathy Bryant Cardboard Testimonies

Have you ever had one of those moments when you sensed God's Spirit telling you to do something? One of those moments much like what Peter must have felt when God told him to put his nets down once more? You don't really have time. You don't really want to do it. That's what I experienced recently when I stumbled across this video. I gave in and took the time to watch it, and was moved to tears by how gracious and loving our heavenly Father is.
