For God So Loved the World – Lectio Divina

March 16, 2014 By Jean Wise

“For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son,

so that everyone who believes in him may not perish

but may have eternal life.”

John 3: 16

For God so loved the world, healthy spirituality.org

Lord, I smiled when I read these verses, so deeply engraved within my soul.

Your words here are probably the first ones I ever memorized as a child and they still warm my heart today.

“For God so loved the world” that tiny word, “so” intensifies the significance of this phrase and expands it height and depth.

Short words linked together into a mighty verse by your powerful mercy and grace.

I feel love just reading this verse, Lord.

FOR God so loved the world.

For GOD so loved the world.

For God SO loved the world.

For God so LOVED the world.

For God so loved THE world.

For God so love the WORLD.

I love you, Lord.

Thank you for so loving the world.

Thank you for so loving me.
