Life is full of love

The statement that God is love is so very true. I have witnessed great amounts of love recently. I want to begin with a video I watched this morning with my little girl. I was deeply moved by this video which tells the story of Abraham sacrificing Issac. I learned 2 things from this video the first was the point of it, which was the necessity of obedience and teaching our children to be obedient. Isaac does not struggle but willing obeys his father and is willing to give himself up to the will of the Lord.
The second thing I learned was how great love one can have for their children. I saw Abraham's struggle greatly with this commandment because he loves his son so much. Since this story is symbolic of the saviors sacrifice I felt the pain of God as he allowed his son to be killed for us. The reason being he loves us so much.
I thought about my little girl and cried at the thought of having anything ever hurt her. I love her deeply and I know that God feels the same for each of here on earth.

I also have been the witness of countless others loving examples for me and my family. My parents were willing to give up their car for us. They have worked hard and they did not need to give of their car but because I know that they love me and my family they made a huge sacrifice when our car died.
I saw another friend give of her time as she came and helped my wife finish a project when my wife would not be able to finish it by herself in time.
Today we had a great women that is a member of our church offer us of her resources and money because she knows that is one thing she has the ability to help us with as I am currently unemployed. I saw that love in her eyes as she offered to give of the hard earned money she has made over years of work. What an example of sacrifice and love.
I am grateful for love and pray that I may give of mine worthily, as I have seen so many other do for us of late.
