My name is Keith Giles. I love to write so that people can know Jesus and experience His life in their own. So, I started this blog to help people understand who Jesus is, and how He reveals what the Father is really like. This is a safe place to talk about all those questions you've had about the Bible, and Christianity. It's also a place to learn how to put the words of Jesus into practice.

THE ASTOUNDING TRUTH ABOUT LOVE
God is love. He made us in His own image.
We are the objects of His undying affection.
Literally.
He would rather die than live without us and He proved that
for us a very long time ago.
We were made by love to be loved.
When we receive love, we are receiving God, who is love.
To be loved is why we were created. When we are loved we are
fulfilling our purpose.
This is why it is so tragic that many of us struggle with
love.
We doubt that God loves us.
We deflect God’s love because we are convinced we’re not
worthy of it.
We dismiss the love of others for the same reason.
Yet love is why we are here.
Without love, we are nothing.
Without the love of Christ, we can’t love others.
Without God’s love we can’t see Him or hear Him as He
intended.
God is love. If we resist love, we resist God.
Here is the truth:
Love made us.
Love sets us free.
Love removes all fear.
Love reunites us with God (who is love).
Love restores our identity (as people who were made to be
loved).
Love allows us to see others as they are (people who are
made by love to be loved).
Love endures all things.
Love overcomes.
Love transforms us.
Love never dies.
The part of us that is loved is the part of us that is
eternally intertwined with God (who is love).
Do you know who made you?
Love made you.
Do you know why?
So that you could be loved.
Do you know who you are?
You are loved.

"And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together
with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep
is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you
may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God." (Ephesians 3:14-21)
If this blessed you, why not share it with your friends online and bless them, too?

You May Hate Yourself, But God Is Crazy In Love With You
You make His heart sing. He can't stop thinking about you. He throws back His head and He sings over you.
The voices of the angels ring in His ears night and day, but what He yearns for most desperately is to hear your voice calling out His name.
You think you're worthless, but He thinks you're worth dying for. The value He has placed on you is greater than you can imagine.
He literally gave His life to be with you.
When He saw how much it would cost to make you His own He didn't blink an eye, He paid the ultimate price and now you are His.
Now nothing can ever separate you from His love.He created Eternity so you could get to know Him better.When God looks at you, He sees His beloved. He sees His child. He sees a face He cannot wait to kiss, and a hand He cannot wait to hold.His fondest desire is to be with you forever.
He has plans for you. Good plans. Fantastic dreams designed to fill your heart with joy and your eyes with wonder.
So, you might hate yourself, but God is crazy in love with you.
Let that love change your heart. Let His love transform you from within.
Trust in Him. He wants nothing but the best for you.
“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.
But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit." - 1 Cor. 2:9-10
