I Am Because Love Is: God As Verb John Chuchman

The first letter of John, 4, 7-16, touched me deeply with the words, God is Love; When we live in Love, we live in God and God in us. The restrictive, biased, inadequate view of Our Creator as a white-haired old man sitting in judgment of us simply no longer worked for me. Indeed, it seems we have envisioned the Divine in our own image. Perhaps a better idea of God is Source of Love, Embodiment of Love, and Love in Action. God (as Verb) IS Love and I AM only because (God as) LOVE IS. Join me here in exploring this notion.
