What does it mean to love God?  I think only I know how to answer that for myself, and yet, the bible does tell us who He is and that is “how” we come to love Him.  By knowing Him.  I love Him more all the time.  I love the Savior He gave us through His plan of salvation.  I love that Jesus and He have been together from the beginning and the bible tells us this is true.  I love that He gave us the Holy Spirit to be our go between, our adviser, our advocate.   God is loving because He is merciful in forgiving us our sins.  Sins that are against Him and all that is holy.  Remember, God is holy. 

The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

                                                                                    -1John 4:8

God is loving because He sent Jesus to die for us, and as John tells us, Jesus is the Word, the Word that was with God and that is God.  The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.  God’s own Son. God in the flesh. To DIE.  For us.  Lowly sinners.  God, Who created everything, dying on a cross, for us.  May we take the time to feel Him in our hearts and thank Him for loving us. 

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.

                                                                            -1John 4:7

Amen.
