persistent genuine love...

--like the dripping of water on a rock--can wear away a person's resistance.  It's nearly impossible to stay angry with or emotionally distant from someone who unconditionally loves and values you. - "It Takes Two to Tango" by Gary and Norma Smalley

God persistently loves us through the ages and He never gets weary. How many times has He cried at our resistance? Oceans full would be my guess. I get so tired as I try to love... especially when it seems to make no difference. But I believe in love and the power in it. ... soft & sure like a rain drop ...
Genuine love doesn't necessarily spring from feelings.  Its basis is primarily a concern for the welfare of another. Although the feelings of affection will follow, genuine love is initially an action directed toward fulfilling another person's needs. - From "It Takes Two to Tango" by Gary and Norma Smalley

Love gets a bad rap when it is associated with feelings. Rather Love is an action. Love shown tells you how much you are of value. God demostrated His love because He cares for our welfare. He wants us to live a full life.
