Love is not merely a virtue—it is the very essence of God, His most radiant attribute, flowing from eternity into our hearts. In 1 John 4:7-21, we see love revealed most powerfully through Jesus, who bled, hung, and died as an atoning sacrifice, embodying divine compassion in its fullest form. Because God first loved us, we are called to love one another—not out of duty, but as a reflection of His Spirit dwelling within us. This love draws out courage, obedience, care, and confidence, shaping us into vessels for His glory. It binds us together in faith and community, transcending time and space, echoing through every act of kindness and every story we share. And as we write our life’s narrative, we do so together with friends, knowing that in God’s love, the story never truly ends.
