Love

God is love. God wants intimacy with us. He wants a relationship with us. He wants to spend time with us. He is jealous of our love, our time, our affections when we ignore Him.

As I've thought about the way he created man and woman and marriage, I think He did this so that we could have a foretaste of love. He could have created us all the same - no man and no woman. But He didn't. I think He wanted us to know the special, close relationship of love and then marriage. And then, the fact that their love creates a procreation, a child, then it shows us a parent's love as He is our Father. We can appreciate more the fact that He sent His one and only Son to come to earth and suffer as He took our punishment.

Our God is an awesome God.
