One
of the most misunderstood attributes
of God is that God Is Love. Notice I
didn't say He is loving or even just
loveable. He's love itself. And
people, stop and think of what that
means. Every single thing God has
ever done or ever will do is a
perfect act of love. Why? Because
God Is Love. But herein lies our
problem. We live in a society that
has a warped view of what true love
is. When you mention the word
"love" today, most people
think it refers to doing something
sexual. But people, God demonstrated
what true love is by something
sacrificial. He sent His Son to die
for our sins. Now that is love! But
even here, we've become so numb to
this amazing act of God's love, that
we have lost any appreciation for
it. Therefore, God Is Love takes a
look at the 6 ways God demonstrates
that He is love itself. He does it
by giving us Compassion, Kindness,
Graciousness, Faithfulness,
Patience, and Goodness. And what's
so incredible about all this is that
the whole time it's not only free
for the asking but we don't deserve
it! People of God, if we can't seem
to appreciate the fact that God Is
Love, then something is terribly
wrong with us! If we had any idea of
the depths of God's love we would
not only fall on our knees in
reverence and kiss the very feet of
Christ but we'd get up on our feet
and run to tell everyone of their
immediate need of Christ! Why?
Because that's what happens when you
truly understand that God Is Love.
