About This Quote
This is a God who is not identified with the help of a dictionary but through a relationship. A God who can be experienced by a relationship with a person, a relationship where you get peace and peace of mind. The bible says that “God” is our loving Heavenly Father. But it doesn’t tell us what kind of a person He is.
If we had to describe Him with a single word, we would choose “love.” It’s impossible to overstate the importance of love in our lives. It’s impossible to describe it adequately in any one word or phrase, but anyone who has ever felt it knows its power. Love is an emotion that affects our entire being.
It creates happiness, joy, and fulfillment in our lives. It allows us to feel hope and optimism, even in the darkest hours. It makes us feel safe and secure, able to face any challenge head-on.
