" You don't have to be alone in your hurt! Comfort is yours. Joy is an option. And it's all made possible by your Savior.He went without comfort so that you might have it. He postponed joy so that you might share in it. He willingly chose isolation so that you might never be alone in your hurt and sorrow. " ~Joni Eareckson Tada
Aren't you glad the verse does not read:
"For God so loved the rich..."?
Or, "For God so loved the famous..."?
Or, "For God so loved the thin..."?
It doesn't. Nor does it state, "For God so loved the Europeans or Africans..." "the sober or successful..." "the young or the old..."
No, when we read John 3:16, we simply (and happily) read, "For God so loved the world." ~Max Lucado
John 3:16 is one of my favorite verses, it says it all! I like Joni Erickson too, have read her books. She has an amazing testimony.
