“God is Love”
is written upon every opening bud, upon every spire of springing
grass.
The lovely birds making the air vocal with their happy songs, the
delicately
tinted flowers in their perfection perfuming the air, the lofty
trees of the forest
with their rich foliage of living green~~all testify to the tender,
fatherly care of
our God, and to His desire to make His children happy.
“God is Love”
His nature, His law, is love.
It ever has been; it ever will be. . . .
Every manifestation of creative power is an expression of infinite
love.
It is through His power that summer and winter, seedtime and harvest,
day and night, follow each other in their regular succession.
It is by His word that vegetation flourishes, that leaves appear,
and the flowers bloom. Every good thing we have, each ray
of sunshine and shower of rain, every morsel of food,
every moment of life, is a gift of love.
The history of the great conflict between good and evil,
from the time it first began in heaven to the final overthrow
of rebellion and the total eradication of sin,
is also a demonstration of God's unchanging Love.
The gift of Christ reveals the Father's heart.*
