God loved us first and poured his love on us. God is love and he shows us how to love one another. Love is powerful and when we love one another, fear leaves and faith in God rises up within us. Love casts down all barriers and shows God and his power to love and reconcile with one another.
Those who are loved by God, let his love continually pour from you to one another, because God is love. Everyone who loves is fathered by God and experiences an intimate knowledge of him. The one who doesn’t love has yet to know God, for God is love. (1 John 4:7-8 TPT)

The name of Love is sadly abused a lot today – but true God-given Love is a godsend.
