God is Love

I was reading 1 John 4 this week at Crow and I was amazed that I had never caught the simple phrase "God is love". So simple but so infinite. This made me think of 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. The passage on love. So I read it but I switched the word love to God and I found it so powerful. I am in awe. God is such a wonderful and magnificent God.

God is patient, God is kind.

He does not envy, he does not boast, he is not proud.

He is not rude, he is not self-seeking, he is not easily angered, he keeps no record of wrongs.

He does not delight in evil but rejoices in the truth. 

He always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

God never fails.

"God is love. Whoever lives in love, lives in God and God in him". 1 John 4:16
