roots go here

1 John 3.1 Look at what amazing love the Father has given to us: that we should be called the children of God.
1 John 4.16-17 And we know and believe the love that God has in us. God is love, and he that dwells in love dwells in God, and God dwells in Him. In this the love is perfected within us, that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world.
Ephesians 3.17-19 That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height—to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
I very often hear of people getting into religious arguments, doctrinal debates that get heated and such…but rooted in love, even when you disagree with folks, love thinks about the other person’s feelings, so as to gently restore. And love covers a multitude of sins. Love puts the other first.
