"What a glorious thought--He loved “me” and gave Himself for “me”! When you repeat these words, let the pronoun “me” have its full force.
“But I am not worthy of the love of Jesus,” some one will say. That has nothing whatever to do with the matter; He loves you, nevertheless. “Love is of God,” (1 John 4:7) and is as eternal and unchangeable as He is.
---If one could state just the reason why he loves another, that would show that he had not true love; for what he calls love would cease if the conditions were changed;
---whereas, true love never ceases nor changes.
---It is useless to try to explain why God loves us, except by the fact that He is love." E.J. Waggoner
