Can you find love on the Internet? Millions of people believe you can.

They want to click a mouse and discover lifelong bliss. Thousands of free online dating sites with catchy names like "Plenty of Fish" and "Book of Matches" now exist to compete with the hundreds of popular fee based sites such as eHarmony and Match.com. Most of these services promise, "With just a little help, you can find love easily."

In the real world, however, it's not that easy to find love, unless we turn to someplace unexpected: God. When you encounter love from God, you find pure, unconditional, indestructible, eternal love. This is a love so overwhelming it can take your breath away, so finding it can make you weep uncontrollably. It's a love without limits, custom-made just for you.
