Dear Revd Glynn,
What does God do?
From Isabelle
Dear Isabelle,
As you probably guessed by now I would put the word ‘love’ into the question instead of the word ‘God’. So the question would read ‘What does love do?”
Here’s a little list that is by no means complete:
1. Love tucks me into bed at night, listens to the good and bad things about my day, and gives me a kiss goodnight
2. Love encourages me to think about what is good for others. What does my brother/sister need, and how can I help?
3. Love is the joy I feel when playing in piles of autumn leaves, throwing snowballs, making sand sculptures, or running into the sea.
4. Love is joined to wonder – that feeling I get when starring at the stars on a cloudless night.
Another way of saying all the above is that God comforts and encourages us; God urges us to think about the needs of others; God joins us as we play; and God excites us in wonder.
Of course, particularly with no. 1, God has the human face and heart of your mum or dad.
Kind regards,
Glynn

Love sent the Son of God to the Cross. He went willingly, for He so loved the world John 3:16. That why I love Him, but its true He love me more than I love Him God name is Love. 1 John 4:16
ReplyDeleteAnd so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love.
God so loves me that I love Him. Kind regards from Tim, who attends an Anglican Church which was a shock to his Baptist parents.
