Satan’s “deal” is MUCH worse.

“Do I have a DEAL for you – drive this luxury car ‘FREE’ for one whole year

(imagine 1 YEAR!)

– then pay me $100 a week for the next 99 years. 

Sign right here. ________”

GOD IS LOVE

God is the source of all that’s love,

He is its life and light.

He loves all who are above,

Beyond mankind’s feeble sight.

 

And he loves all who are below,

Mortals scrambling o’er the earth.

Loves the humble, who seed sow,

Loves the ones of “highbrow” birth.

 

He loved the ones who evil chose,

But they ne’er loved Him.

They were rank odor to His nose,

And now have wrath to the rim.

 

Return God’s great glorious love.

Love Him with all your heart.

Till someday in a land above,

You and your Lord shall ne’re part.
