God Is Love?

There are important daily events the newspapers do not often report: events of love, for example, which are the basic energy of human life. Yesterday, today, tomorrow, they work their strange enchanting power. But what do they mean?

It is odd that the favored name of God is love. For love, while one of the commonest of experiences, is most difficult to understand. To call God Love is not to shed much light upon His nature. It compounds confusion with complexity.
