We are so accustomed to love on a human level that we find loving God for Himself either impossible or beyond our capabilities. We tend to love those who appeal to us, render us a service, or are good to us. In the degree they perform these various services, we love them.

God, from a beautiful necessity, is Love.

The famous saying 'God is love', it is generally assumed, means that God is like our immediate emotional indulgence, not that the meaning of love ought to have something of the 'otherness' and terror of God.

God is love. He loves everybody. He loves you.

I really do believe that God is love, one of deep affection and grace and forgiveness and inspiration.

Love of God is not always the same as love of good.

I have no doubt concerning that Supreme Goodness, who is so eager to share His blessings, or of that everlasting love which makes Him more eager to bestow perfection on us than we are to receive it.

You wish me to tell you why and how God should be loved. My answer is that God himself is the reason he is to be loved.

God to me is love.

The best loved by God are those that are rich, yet have the humility of the poor, and those that are poor and have the magnanimity of the rich.
