No matter what deep hurts you carry from others, God has provided you an example of ultimate love; use this Love to get through the pain.
Why is love important in life? How has God revealed His love to you?

God Himself is Love; ALL things are created BY Love and FOR Love. Without it, everything falls apart. Love is the source of ALL other virtues-- joy, peace, patience, faith, hope, gentleness, courage, kindness, etc.-- and it is ALSO their ultimate aim & end! Love is the Heart of the very cosmos.
God has revealed His Love to me most profoundly in His Son, Who CHOSE to suffer & die FOR MY SAKE, to both save & redeem me from the sins I was trapped in & enslaved to. By His Love, I am FREE... to love!!! But... that revelation is deepened through the beautiful love He gives me through others.
