About This Quote
In the Book of Romans, Paul writes that “God is love.” He says that love is the essence of who God is, and that it’s what draws us to Him. Love isn’t a feeling we have for someone. It’s a sense in which we relate to them. It’s a bond we share with them, a relationship in which we feel connected and cared for.
