Yes, the Bible says God is love, but nowhere does it say that love is God, because that simply is not true. We can equate a Being with a quality, but we cannot say that a quality has become a Being. one day I took the time to write a letter to God,, It was amazing! My emotions poured forth, spilling over from my heart’s reservoir of love. Somehow the very act of writing—this praying on paper—had released a geyser of feelings formerly unexpressed. Then god say”s me. My child you not know me.but I am know everything about you. I know when you are gitting down and you are gitting up. I knew you even before you were conceived. You were not a mistake, for all your days are written in my book. You are fearfully and wonderfully made.
The most beautiful way I have found in which to wrap the gift of my heart is within a letter. Love letters are “our heart on our sleeve, our battle standard, our essence, our indelible signature, our emotional fingerprint, our private well of memory…our true secret self.” I once heard a pastor define faith as “knowing God”. And to know God is to first know that he loves you. God IS love. You also cannot do the good works to which he calls you because they require the power of faith working through love within you. So Please pass this message on to everyone you know so they too can become rooted and grounded in God’s love.
Day and night, constantly speak to God with all the simplicity of a son towards his father. Then you feel the love of the Father and His divine protection. Then you love, since you are loved, and you are afraid lest you violate His divine will. You tremble lest you sadden your good Father, Who showed you so much love without any self-interest; it is for you that He died on the Cross. Loves us so much even though we continue to sin and disregard the ten commandments. The first part is more speculative, since I wanted here—at the beginning of my Pontificate—to clarify some essential facts concerning the love which God mysteriously and gratuitously offers to man, together with the intrinsic link between that Love and the reality of human love.
For God is love - He is not merely benevolent, he is benevolence itself. Never was a more important declaration made than this; never was more meaning crowded into a few words than in this short sentence - "God is love." In the darkness of this world of sin - in all the sorrows that come now upon the race, et us believe that he sincerely desires our good, and that what seems dark to us may be designed for our welfare; and amidst all the sorrows and disappointments of the present life, let us feel that our interests and our destiny are in the hands of the God of love.And god tell me come home My son and I”ll throw the biggest party heaven has ever seen.
