God is Love
“Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.” ~ 1 John 4:8 (NIV)
“Nothing God ever does, or ever did, or ever will do, is separate from the love of God,” noted A.W. Tozer. Do we choose to accept God’s love and then to love others as we have received His love? Read about the implications of “God is love” to you and me here.
