When you apply a certain word to God, it must bear the same essential meaning as it does when you apply it to man—otherwise it has no meaning at all. When you say that God is Love or Intelligence, or that He is Just, these words must mean substantially what they mean when applied to human beings. The love of God must be essentially the same that we know as the love of the mother for her children, or the love of the artist for his creation, purified and increased to infinity, of course.
The truth is that God is Love and Intelligence; and that He works with perfect wisdom and perfect justice to all, at all times, in the ordinary and correct meaning of these words.
…God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all (1 John 1:5).
He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is Love (1 John 4:8).
Good and upright is the Lord… (Psalm 25:8).
We have all heard “God works in strange and mysterious ways, his wonders to perform”. While not pretending to understand these mysteries, we can all rest assured in total faith that his ways do work, and that his desire for each of us is joy, peace and harmony. Just as all our children have been mystified by our actions as parents when acting to shape, help or protect them, we are sometimes unable to understand God’s ways. And just as our children, that understanding will grow as we mature spiritually.
Mystified,
