God is Love

"Beloved, let us love one another:  for love is of God; everyone that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.  He that loveth not, knoweth not God; for God is love."  I John 4:7-8 (KJV)

I was reminded tonight:  God is love, and I am God's.  God is love, and I have nothing to fear.  God is love, and so I should love.  Too often I forget how far I have come in my journey of faith, how lost and how hopeless I once felt.  At one time I thought the love of God did not extend to people like me.  I am reminded today that the love of God knows no bounds, because God is love.

As one who experiences the love of God, I am called to be loving.  If I do not love others, I do not know God.  If you do not love, you do not know God.

LGBT folks: happy Pride weekend.  Stonewall happened 41 years ago.  If you haven't heard it recently, hear it now:  God's love is unfailing and you, as a child of God, deserve a life of dignity, love, and respect.  Love others as God has loved you.
