My heavenly father loves me.  It is a great thought and one I want to remember as each moment of my day passes.  It is a thought from John 3:16: God SO loved…  He loved and loved and loved.  Before time began He loved.  Before “Let there be light” was uttered by the most sovereign, He loved.  The one who loved was and is God, and the one He loves, was and is me.  Long before I ever existed, or was ever aware of my own life, He loved me.  When I came to know I existed, I loved me and I loved only me – a problem all of us seem to have.  And while I loved me, He loved me.  When I was caught in the chains of sin, full of contempt and hatred for God himself, He loved me.
