That God is a loving God, a God who cares about His creation, is also an awareness that resonates in me. You might ask: “Why then is there pain and suffering in the world? How can a loving God allow this? It's because we underestimate - undervalue - our freedom from God, our free will. We are free, entirely free to explore, free to choose, and free to reject. We can choose to disbelieve or ignore God, because He made us that way. He allowed us that freedom.
The opposite of love
is evil. Once His love is rejected all forms
of horror are possible.
If God is a lover, he longs to be loved in return. And only freedom allows love. Without freedom, what would our response to God be? Duty? Fear? God created us free so that we could choose to love Him.
To choose love
… is … to choose God.
God is all about love.
