"God is Love"

BY DAVIS A. WOODWARD.

St. John is spoken of as one "whom Jesus loved," and as Christian Science is unfolded to us, we can more clearly understand the height of thought he had attained, to have realized what is meant by the statement "God is Love."

There can be no thought of material love in it. As matter is annihilated by Science, the only possible comparison is in the mother love which seems to grow stronger as sorrow and pain are forced upon it, and which will go to any extremity for its object. This but faintly shadows forth God's love.

In Genesis we read, "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: ... So God created man in his own image." Can we not catch a glimpse of what a full realization of this would bring to us? Love as Father-Mother God, why should we find it hard to live a full reflection of Love?
