God is Love. How can we understand this amazing love? When I married my husband 35 years ago, I was in love with him and told him repeatedly. I still tell him repeatedly and I still love him, but over the years, my love for him has grown to the point that when I say, “I love you”, those words just don’t express my deep heartfelt feelings. I cannot find the words I need to truly describe my feelings for him. I love his smile. He makes me smile. I love his sense of humor. He makes me laugh. He makes me feel special. He loves me back. These are the simple things, I love about my husband and I use the word, love, for lack of a better description.
I can understand how little phrases got started, like:
- He’s the Cat’s Meow.
- I stick to you like Glue
- You are my Sunshine
- We go together like Bread and Butter
My husband is proof God loves me, because he brought us together. Love is just a word for some people, but to me, everything is hinged on it. There is a depth and width that we can never understand. (1 Corinthians 13).
Love has power to build up or tear down. Love can make you sick or love can heal you. Love can bring you to your knees or place you on a mountain top. Love can be painful, but it can be full of joy. Love can make you laugh or love can make you cry. I think love is the most powerful emotion in the universe. Isn’t it interesting that, God is Love?
