Nothing more exists for us. Love is not a word; it is a wordless state indicated by four letters.

Within each of us exists the image of God, however disfigured and corrupted by sin it may presently be. God is able to recover this image through grace as we are conformed to Christ.

Acceptance of His love is a major step along the road that leads to our liberation from the tyranny of sin.
