“And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love;” (I John 4: 16)

God is Love. This is surely one of the most significant and healing statements in the Bible. The awareness of God as Love can change everything. And it is our great blessing to continue to seek to understand what this really means for us.

John speaks of genuinely knowing God’s love. He recognizes that this love is not only an activity of God, something He does. It is, in fact, what and who God is. So, to know the love of God, to feel this affection from a divine Source, is to know God Himself.

We can continue to yearn to feel and know this Love. Because God is infinite, surely Love must be as well. Because God is Truth, then Love is the Truth of Life, the very Truth of our being and of all creation.

And while we come to know, to feel, to glimpse God’s love, let’s also believe it. This means having faith in the fullness and presence of Love. It is believing, in spite of what the world and the senses may try to tell us, that Love is what is real, lasting, powerful. It is coming to believe that God is not to be feared, He is not destructive, He is not partial, He is not absent, He is not angry. We are to know and believe in Him as He truly is—perfect Love.

And this consciousness brings our hearts peace, our lives health, and our motives and actions the impulse and power of God’s own Love felt, accepted, believed.
