"Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love." - 1 John 4:8
Do you know God is love?

Our attention is easily drawn to an older couple who strolls through the church, holding hands, still obviously in love with one another. Their love illustrates God’s plan for marriage because the “two have become one.” That’s a love most of us aspire to have and is the earthly example of the love relationship God wants to have with each of us.
People who maintain a strong love relationship with God naturally reveal God’s love to others. When we fill our days with God, he fills our moments with his love because “God is love.” His nature, character, and presence in our lives serve as an expression of his pure and unconditional love.
Maybe someone glimpsed God’s love in you today simply because you allowed his love to be present in your thoughts and choices. When two become one, a unique love is born. That is the relationship God desires to have with us. Our attention is easily drawn to people who live with that love for one another.
To know God is to understand that He is love, and that is the beginning of wisdom.
