from God: “For all have sinned and fall short of

the glory of God” (ROMANS 3:23).

2. Realize that God loves you, and believe

that Jesus Christ died for your sins: “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” (JOHN 3:16).

3. Receive Him into your life by faith: “If

you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and

dead, you will be saved” (ROMANS 10:9).

ou don’t have to be a member of the

Lonely Hearts Club to be looking for

love. All of us—whether we’re fi fteen or fi fty,

handsome or homely, married or single—need

the kind of love that makes life worth living.

You know what I’m talking about. You want

someone to make you feel glad that you’re alive.

Someone to love you—not for how you look or

what you can do—but for just being you. You

want a love you can depend on when everyone else

has failed you.

Unfortunately that kind of love is hard to fi nd.

Turn on your radio and someone will be singing

about the lover who let him down. Tune to a talk

show and a daughter reveals the painful memory

of a father who never loved her. Th e problem is

universal. In some way we’ve all been wounded in

our search for love.

Th e good news is that there is a love that can

heal any broken heart. A love that you don’t have

to earn. An unconditional love that is stronger

than any human love.

God is the source of that love. When our lives

are open to Him, God’s love can fl ow to us and

through us to others. But when sin separates us

from Him, life is an emotional roller coaster. One

day we feel loved; the next day we don’t.

God’s love is so great that He sent His own

Son to bridge the gap that separates us from Him.

Th e Bible says, “God demonstrates His own love

for us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died

for us” (ROMANS 5:8).

Th at’s love! Jesus Christ gave His life so that

we would know His Father’s love forever.

Th ere is no sin that we will ever commit

that has not been paid for by Christ’s

death. Nothing can

separate us from

His love.

Why not get

off the roller coaster

today? Only God’s love
