God Is Love.

God our Father Is perfect love. Love is the essence : of his being, the mainspring of all his activities. He Is not a fickle tyrant, an Inexorable judge, a relentless law giver—he is love. He Is attractive. He is kind, he understands us, he sympathizes with us. He is pained by our disobedience, and our faithfulness Is well pleasing In his sight He. is Interested In us, for we are his children. Love dwells upon his thought, love directs his will, love dominates his emotions. Infinite love that sees all, knows all, impartial, just, merciful, saving—that is the love, the essence of God.—Unlversalist Leader.
