God Is Love: Reflection on 1 John 4:8

To know God is to strive to love as He loves, with patience, compassion, humility, and forgiveness.
The reflection connects love for God with love shown to one another, and ends with a prayer that we may make His love known through words, actions, and hearts, concluding "Glory to God for all things."
