Can you see love?  Does it have a shape?  Can you scientifically prove that love exists?  Can you weigh it, chemically analyse it?  Does love exist?

We know it does, we see it in the way a man loves a woman, parents love their babies, people love their pets. It’s a feeling, an emotion, an overwhelming sensation that fills you completely with a sense of joy and happiness.  There is no feeling like it in the world

We know he does, we see it in the way he loves us by sending his son to die for us.  It' a feeling, an emotion, an overwhelming sensation that fills you completely with a sense of joy and happiness when you experience the power and wonder of God's love

"For God so loved the world (that means you) that he gave his only son so that anyone who believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life".   You can see the existence of God by looking at creation.  The bible says in the book of Romans chapter 1 v 19 " the truth about God  is known to us instinctively.  God has put this knowledge in our hearts

Dove rightSince earliest times men have seen the earth and sky and all God made, and have known of his existence and great eternal power".   You can see God's love in the scent of a flower, the beauty of its bloom, the glory of a sunset, the smile of a child, the majesty of mountains.  You can know God' love for yourself simply by accepting the love of his son, Jesus, just by asking him to be your Lord and Saviour. Once you have done that you will know beyond a shadow of a doubt that God is real, and that God is love
