Perfect love

Sunday May 14th, 1st John 4: My dear, dear friends, if God loved us like this, we certainly ought to love each other. No one has seen God, ever. But if we love one another, God dwells deeply within us, and his love becomes complete in us--perfect love! Sometimes it might seem easier to love God whom we don’t see than to love our fellow brothers and sisters who are in our face and tend to act soooo human. The trouble is that what we are loving is the concept of God, our mental image of God, rather than God. It is in loving one another, even with all our foibles, that we can truly learn to love God, who is the creator of many of the foibles others have, as well as a few of our own foibles.
