Isaiah 9:13, 21; 10:4

"For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still."

Piper, Desiring God: "The nature of genuine love can be seen in four things.

1. It is a work of Divine grace.
2. The experience of God's grace fills with joy.
3. Joy in God's grace overflows in generosity to meet the needs of others.
4. The joy in God overflows in giving.

"Love is the overflow of joy in God that gladly meets the needs of others" (119).

Beth Moore, Living Beyond Yourself:

"Because Christ loves [me],
1. He reveals to [me] the Father.
2. He gives [me] the Father's Word.
3. He prays for [me].
4. He protects [me].
5. He sanctifies Himself.
6. He gives [me] His glory.
7. He places [me] in Him.
8. He makes the Father known to [me].
9. He desires [me] to be with Him and to see His glory.
