My first reaction: Yes, that&#8217;s true. Love is our strongest and most positive sense in life, but it also challenges us like no other one. Because love is applied to a YOU, it demands a response. On the \u00abI love you\u00bb we are hoping the answer: \u00abI love you too\u00bb.<br \/>\nObviously love is not for cowards, therefore we need a large supply of love. Then we will not come quickly to our limits. In the 1st Epistle of John we read (4.16):<br \/>\nGod is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God and God in him.<br \/>\nIn Christ, God has come into our world. He has chosen not a perfect world. He accepted us just as we are. God really was not a coward! And every day he invites us again. Let us seek contact with God. Here we find a neverending treasure for us. This overcomes our fears and gives us a healthy optimism.<\/p>\n<p>Reverend Roland<\/p>\n<h2>THIS SUNDAY AT BALBOA UNION CHURCH<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/balboaunionchurch.org\/wpaccess\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Advertising.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-2147 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/balboaunionchurch.org\/wpaccess\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Advertising-300x232.jpg\" alt=\"Advertising\" width=\"300\" height=\"232\" srcset=\"http:\/\/balboaunionchurch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Advertising-300x232.jpg 300w, http:\/\/balboaunionchurch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Advertising-1024x793.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sunday School Teachers : Rev.
