What does these three little words really mean to you?  God is Love!  

God is love, because He is the creator of love.  He defined love, perfected love, demonstrated and completed His love for mankind when He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through him (John 3:16).  This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us first and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.  My dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and His love is made complete in us (1 John. 4:8-12).

Wouldn't this world be such a better place if we loved and cared for one another? 

Wouldn't this world be such a better place if we were kind and caring to one another?

Would this world be such a better place if we demonstrated Gods love which lives in us by stretching out our hand to some one in need?

God first loved us by sending His son Jesus to die on a cross and shed His blood so we may have eternal life. His self-giving love for us is genuine love for all of mankind.   

The apostle Paul said: "God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in [Jesus] and through him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross" (Col. 1:19). Paul puts a similar idea in the language of love (agape) by saying "God proves His own love for us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us" (Rom. 5:8). If you want proof of God's love, look to the crucified and risen Jesus. He is the living proof of Gods love for us (John 3:16).  Paul acknowledges the Holy Spirit as the means of bringing God's love to us directly: "God has poured out His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit given to us" (Rom. 5:5).

Before you close your eyes tonight may you reflect on Gods perfect love for you and how much He sacrificed so you may have eternal life with Him.   

For that my friend, is why God is Love…. 

Father:  Thank you for your loving kindness and sending your son Jesus to die in our place…  I know we do not comprehend the love you have for us all… It's well above our understanding and reasoning.  Teach me Father to love and to be a caring witness for you around the world so others can learn about Jesus and how much you love them also.

In Jesus name Amen!
