“Love is from God; everyone who Loves is born of God
and everyone who Loves truly knows God.”
~ unknown (1 John 4:7)

 

Actually, we are all innately “born of God” (i.e. we all have the latent, inherent ability to Love others unconditionally &/or Care for others self-sacrificially).  And as such it is those who have chosen to Love in this pure Way who are thereby re-Born of God, and thereby re-member the same.

 

P.S.  Please note that Love — Divine Love — is not something that comes from God (a phrase that implies such Love is given “from above” to those who have proven themselves “worthy” via their worship — as many Christians would have us believe).  No, at least according to Jesus Christ, Love is an action – a conscious choice — something that we bring into being — something that fills us up from within and showers upon all those nearby during every one of our acts of gentle Giving &/or humble Kindness.

As such, real Divine Love does not come from God, but rather is us embodying a perfect reflection of God.
