Here are just a few passages that describe God's love for you (Click anywhere to read the passage itself). "Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged. It is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. Love will last forever. God is love! I have loved you with an everlasting love; With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, 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. No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him. We love because he first loved us."
