Observe the love the Father gave to us that we should be called the children of God. That is what we are! For this reason the world does not know us. This is because it did not know him.

([Psalm of David]) I love you, O Jehovah, my strength.

Your goodness is so great! You reserve it for those who respect you. The sons of men watch as you show it to those who take refuge in you.

How precious is your loving-kindness, O God! And the children of men put their trust in the shadow of your wings.

No one has ever heard and no one has paid attention. No one has perceived any god except you. You help those who wait for you.

It is written: Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, and it has not entered into the heart of man, the things God prepared for those who love him. (Isaiah 64:4)

God is love

He who does not love does not know God for God is love.

And he

No one has seen God at any time! If we love one another, God lives with us, and his love is perfected (accomplished) (matured) through us.

The one who obeys God's commandments lives in God, and God lives in (with) Him. We know that He lives in (with) us by the Spirit He gave us.

General references

Better is a bowel of soup where there is love, than a steak with someone you hate.

My people will live in a peaceful place, in safe homes and quiet places of rest.

We know that we live with him and he with us, because he has given us of his Spirit.
