God's Love

In Ragtime there is a song, "I thought I knew what love was, but these lovers play new music." I echo that sentiment, I thought I knew what love was, then I went on a mission,got married, became a parent, and almost died.I know the scripture "God is Love"(1john 4:7)'In The God Who Weeps'the authors write, "if vulnerability and pain are the price of love, joy is its reward"This comforts me and gives me joy as I go through this "veil of tears." I believe that we are that we might have joy and the price has been paid by my Heavenly Father's perfect Son, my Savior Jesus Christ.
