God's Love

God Is Love

"God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God."
1 John 4:16

Reflection

The Bible does not say God has love. It says God is love. Love is not something He does on good days — it is who He is, always.

Prayer

Father, thank You for being love itself. Amen!

Talk about it as a family

  1. What is the difference between having love and being love?
  2. How do you know God loves you?
  3. Where did you see love today?

5-minute activity

Starting the month of love, cut out a big paper heart and write "God is love" in the middle. Each day this month, add a small note around it about where you saw love. Read 1 John 4:7-16.
