Loved by Faith Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Loved by God Faith Blog Hop!  We are so blessed to have you be a part of it.  If you arrived from Kari’s blog you are in the right place. If you just happened to have landed here, go on over to www.mypapertreehouse.blogspot.com so that you can catch the beginning of the hop.  
I have noticed that since we were pretty much created we have an innate need to be loved and desired.  There is such a longing in our souls to be called beautiful, adorable, precious, accepted, and loved; and many times we find ourselves living lives of beggars, accepting the pennies people are willing to give.  To be loved by man is temporal and it will always leave you thirsty for more.  To be loved by God is to find satisfaction and to never thirst again. 
This month we want to share with you what it has meant for us to have been “Loved by God”.  Every Brave and Precious woman participating in this hop has a beautiful story of how God has shown His love to them in a very personal way.




  We invite you to hop around and discover the AMAZING ways the Lord chooses to love us, even when we do not deserve it.
The Bible says that there is no greater love than that from one who dies for his friend…  and God loves you so much that He sent His only Son to die for you.  Take a minute and listen to this song:

Our prayer is that the Lord would open your eyes so that you too can see how God has loved you.  
 Here is how He has chosen to show me His love:


 For those who have kids we love them so much. We take photos and write down all the wonderful things they do. I feel we cannot understand how much Christ loves us but we can understand the love we have for our loved ones. When you think of Christ love, think about someone you love and think how much more Christ loves you as his child. He has his arms around you asking you to believe like a child believes and to trust that he is there for us.  
  

We are doing things a bit different this month.  We actually want to have you be a participant with us.  If you feel inspired create a project that reflects what the Lord has shown you, write a poem, or simply post about the Love of God in your blog.  Then go over to www.mypapertreehouse.blogspot.com to link up your post.  We would love to see how the Lord works through you. 
For this month alone, there will be no greater gift we can offer you than the love the Lord has awaiting you, so there will be no Grand Prizes.  Still you can be blessed by the beautiful RAKS some of the participants have available. 
Know that we are praying for you and sure hope to see your creations! Your next stop is:
