365 Days With 36.5\u00b0C of Love<\/h2>\n

\n\u201cYou are probably well aware of the story of how God created people with the dust of the ground. When God clothed the cold dust of the ground with 36.5\u00b0C love, humans came to have life. This is the human being the Creator made. God also appointed one year to be 365 days for living beings’ livelihood. 365 days at 36.5\u00b0C are the responses of life and love under the Creator\u2019s invisible providence. This is the will of heaven to live with 36.5\u00b0C love for 365 days.\u201d\nHonorary Chairwoman of the Intl. WeLoveU Foundation Zahng Gil-jah<\/small>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
