Love Of God Reflection Paper - 1739 Words

Love is the feeling of both attachment and deep affection. Anyone who has ever lived has come to know this feeling at some point in their existence. A lot of people find themselves unloved and worthless when it is the complete opposite. They fail to notice the presence of God and his work. From the moment we are born, we already are touched by the love of God. Throughout the ages, humans and God have always had a rocky relationship; from the time of fall of man to present day 2017, but even at our lowest points as humanity, he still has loved and cared for us. We are created in his image; we are his children and through him, we learn to love the ones around us and ourselves.

They were told not to eat the fruit lest they be killed, but they went against his wishes and ate from the fruit of knowledge. G od, seeing them as his creations, was merciful and allowed them to live without a second thought. I also saw some traits that I had never noticed before. One of them being slow to anger. Even when Abraham got mad at him, he remained calm and promised Abraham once more that he would give him numerous descendants. When Jacob was being snobbish, God still was willing to guide him through life as the blessed one. He is also very just. He allowed for Adam and Eve to live, but he also gave them consequences for their actions. Same with Lot. Sodom and Gomorrah were filled with horrible people, ones who were selfish and haughty. But even with so many sinners, Lot was welcoming and humble and because God saw this, Lot was spared and allowed to live out his life in a neighboring city. God is someone who cares and loves us although we don’t extend the same love back at Him, He will always be there waiting for our acceptance. As creations of Gods, we have learned about love and selflessness, but also found ourselves being selfishness and prideful. We should be using the bible to learn lessons about ourselves and God, not straying away from what is written. A big lesson in bible in humility and compassion.
