Knowing God

Knowing God

Who do you love?

Bring to mind people you love.

Friends.

Family.

Writers.

Neighbors.

What do you love?

Bring to mind things you love.

Sunflowers.

Gingerbread.

Fall leaves.

Art.

What places do you love?

Bring them to mind.

The mountains.

The beach.

A park.

Your home.

You were made to love.

God is Love.

***

Vincent Van Gogh

I cannot help thinking

that the best way of knowing God

is to love many things.

Love this friend, this person,

this thing, whatever you like,

and you will be on the right road

to understanding Him better,

that is what I keep telling myself.

***

1 John 4:16

So we have come to know

and to believe the love

that God has for us.

God is love,

and whoever abides in love

abides in God,

and God abides in him.
