(A Karen's Korner on Saturday to make up for the one I didn't send on Thursday!)

Today is a day that I need to be reminded that I am loved by God. Sometimes I/we run pretty far and fast ahead, just in time to look back and re-listen to His care for us.

"For God loved the world (Karen and her friends)
so much that He
GAVE
His only Son
so that anyone (each one of us)
who believes In Him
shall not perish 
but have eternal life.
God did not 
send His Son
into the world (Karen and everyone else!)
to condemn it, 
but to save it!

~ John 3:16 & 17 LAB

Bible Commentary:  "Many people are repulsed by thinking about living forever because their lives are miserable. But eternal life is not the extension of  man's miserable, mortal life; eternal life is God's life embodied in Christ given to all believers now as a guarantee that they will live forever. In this life there is no death, sickness, enemies, evil, and sin. When we don't know Christ, we make choices as though this life were all we have. in reality, this life is just the introduction to eternity. Begin, therefore, to evaluate all that happens from an eternal perspective."
