yeah, that's amazing! even just to think that all those things (love is patient, kind, not easily angered, ect, ALL those things are what God's love is like!!! He is the perfect lover! It's hard not to bask in His love just thinking about it. ...and yet, even we as Christians still yearn for acceptence and love in other places and people.

Basically what I was thinking you guys already said. It's pretty wild to think about what forever is really like, too. It's not just a short-term relationship that He's offering to us; His love endures forever!!!
