God is Love

So I have been thinking a lot about those three words, God is love. It is not "God is loving" or "God can love", but "God is love".

In America and in English, it's interesting that the word "God" and the word "love" are often used incorrectly and differently, but spelled exactly the same. When referring to the god that they believe or do not believe exist, a lot of people refer to god with a capital g. That does not mean its the same god. I have met so many men named "Michael" that spelled their name exactly as I have spelt it, but not one of them was completely alike. The same with the word "Love". It gets thrown around every where, but that does not mean everyone is talking about the same love. At the same time, we have a world full of people looking for love, but instead are finding a terrible substitute with the same name.

Let's go back to "God is love". God is not created or control by anyone. So God does not love because someone told Him to do it or because it was the right thing to do, but instead He loves because that who God is. God is love. It is not a part of Him or His personality, it is Him. This love is often indescribable, but from my own experience I found it to be powerful and fulfilling. When I think about those words more and more, it makes me rethink my usage of the word "Love". There are many things that I do not know about my creator, but I do know that He is love.
