God is love, not God has love or gives love, God is love.

I have been doing a bible study on love. Not human love but Gods' love and the difference between human love and God's love and why we crave to be loved. My whole study was based on the thought 'If we have Gods love, this pure, unconditional, strong love then why do we seek other peoples love. Isn't Gods love enough?' It made me feel like a fool. God's love is everything I need. Its perfect, no one on earth can love me like that. There is nothing I can do that will make God love me less just like there is nothing I can do to make God love me more. He loves me enough already. Its one thing to know God's love, its another to accept it full-heartily and reciprocate Gods love to others. "There is a God-shaped void in the heart of man which can not be filled by anything except God. Nothing less than the patient, kind, unselfish, humble forgiving, unconditional love of God will not suffice or fit." Knowing How much He loves me, really knowing, it makes me want to share it with others. Seeing what a wonderful gift He gives us makes me want to love like Him. Christ exemplified this love When He pushed aside His own personal desires and died on the cross for us.

"It's about undressing our hearts. We have to strip away the layers of expectations, preconceived notions, and fears to experience a passion that will truly move us. When we do, God is free to clothe us with a love that warms out hearts and souls"

The more I grasp Gods love for me the more I want to share love. Gods love is the source of all human love. I see how God made everyone individually with proper imperfections. I see how he created us all in His image and all the wonderful things we are. Seeing my friends in this different light, so to speak, is so awesome. Seeing their talents, their gifts, seeing them the way God made them, imperfect but with so many great things to accomplish. It makes me so happy to have them in my life.
