God is love. He doesn’t just possess love, or have a strong leaning towards being kind & loving. He is love. That’s His character. He can’t help but love extravagantly because love is who He is. God is love towards the saint & the sinner. He is love towards the good & the bad. If two people, (one a saint & the other a sinner) put a spoon into a bowl of sugar & ate it, the sugar would taste sweet for both the saint & the sinner. That’s the nature of sugar. The sugar is sweet, no matter who tastes it. And it’s the same with God. He loved us while we were still sinners & He is sweet towards all who reach out & taste His goodness. I appreciate that God is more than love & He certainly isn’t a sugar daddy – God is God. The creator of all, who is also a God of justice. The love of God balances kindness with correction & discipline. But the central characteristic of God is love. That’s good news for ‘who ever’ partakes & tastes the sweetness of His presence.
