0. God is Love overview…
God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them…
1 John 4:16
When the disciples were choosing a new disciple to replace Judas Iscariot they cast lots – a worldly practice used to determine God’s will. In a similar vein, I used a Facebook game to discover the word God had for me for this next year and “love” came up. But when I started to explore the occurrences of the word in the Bible, I discovered that there were 755! So what was to be just the one journal turned into three: God is Love; Love lived Loud; and Love’s Attributes.
In this journal we’ll take a look together at what God’s love looks like. I began to write this series of Pausing with God a few months after the death of my dad, I was confused and felt in need of love in abundant amounts having lost one of the people I loved the most. I discovered that God’s love is a father’s love as I grieved for my earthly dad.
Discover how understanding God’s infinite and unconditional love for us will in turn grow love in our hearts and enable us to love in abundance. With each post there will be prayers to pray and actions for you to consider and take into your day.
May your unfailing love be with us, Lord, even as we put our hope in you
Psalm 33:22
