ATTRIBUTES OF GOD'S LOVE

Romans 5:3-5
We glory in tribulations also, knowing that tribulation worketh patience; and patience, experience; and experience, hope; and hope maketh not ashamed, because the love of GOD is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who is given unto us.

GOD IS LOVE; BY NATURE, UNCONDITIONAL, UNFAILING, UNENDING, UNSELFISH.

Therefore, we do not have anything to fear, for the love of GOD is always surrounding us and leading us to the good and glorious life. Everything in life teaches us more and more about GOD and His love. Tribulation teaches us to wait on the LORD and be patient. It also teaches us about the patience of GOD. The practice of patience gives us the understanding of how waiting for the LORD to move is more profitable than running out ahead of Him into the unknown darkness; the experience of waiting patiently teaches us about the long-suffering of GOD. Experience matures our hope and gives us examples from our own life of the power of GOD to bring all things together for the good. When we walk in the patience, matured by experience and hope, we are able to love in the way that GOD loves; naturally, unconditionally, unfailing, unending and unselfish.

Can we learn how to love the way GOD loves? Can we become as proficient in our loving as GOD is to us? Only by the Holy Spirit given to us by JESUS can we even begin to love in the same manner as GOD. As we read and study the Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit brings the attributes of GOD to light and invites us to embrace those attributes. The Holy Spirit is the essence of the Father and the Son and they are all One and all in agreement. The Holy Spirit teaches us in the heart about the Heart of GOD, so that we can touch the heart of others with His Love.

THE LOVE OF GOD IS SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS BY THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO IS GIVEN UNTO US
