God Is Love n the days when the great evangelist Moody was preaching in Chicago, a man, partially under the influence of liquor, seeing the warm lights of Moody’s tabernacle, staggered up the steps to the front door. Upon opening it, he saw no one within, but he did see the motto hanging above the pulpit: “God Is Love.” The man slammed the door, staggered down the steps, and muttered to himself, “God is love? God is not love. If God were love, He would love me, and He hates me.” He continued his uneven walk around the block, still muttering to himself. But those words began to burn images into his benumbed thinking. A power seemed to draw him back to the tabernacle. With the throngs that were now making their way into the tabernacle, he soon found himself seated inside, and Mr. Moody was preaching. The sermon over, Moody made his way to the door to shake hands with the people as they left. But this man didn’t leave. He continued to sit in his seat, weeping. Moody came over to him, put his arm on the man’s shoulder, and asked, “Is there something that I can do for you? What was it in my sermon that touched your heart?” “Oh, Mr. Moody, I didn’t hear a word that you spoke tonight,” the man responded. “It’s those words up there over your pulpit—‘God Is Love.’” Moody sat down and talked with him for a while, and soon he gave his heart to Moody’s God. Friend, God is love. All His ways and acts are love. 1 John 4:8 Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. Brethren it is good to know that the God who dwells in is Love and we need to allow the Holy Spirit to express His Love through us. For sure if we dont love one another we dont love God. How can we say that we love someone whom we dont see and yet we dont love the people next to us. #Application Let us love one another brethren with love of God. Blessed Weekend.
