Without love

What is God without love, for He is love. Therefore when we are trying to be like God and are made in the likeness of God we should be made in love and acting in love because that is what God is. Just like only loving people only goes so far, you can't actually do anything for others without love. You just physically and emotionally can not truly show who God is without having love in your heart and showing love to others. It is impossible to bless others through Christ without doing the action in love. It is impossible to pray for others and truly pray and want the best for them without loving God and loving them. Your heart must be clear of hate and hurt and instead filled with God. If you have unresolved issues that God hasn't taken control of, there is room for Satan to fill and that is not okay. It doesn't matter what kind of day you have had or if you are sick or got 2 hours of sleep. What matters is that you show Christ and reflect Him in your life and the way to do that is through love. There is no ifs ands or buts. God conquers all and God is love. Gods love should be exploding fireworks inside us and we should feel it being real. The truth is we can't see God right now but that is no excuse to not "feel" God or have experiences with Him. And then off of those experiences builds a life lasting relationship. And how does that relationship usually start? Usually by someone loving us because they first loved God. It all starts with God then His love and us accepting it and giving it to others! There aren't certain times to be loving but there are times when we indivually need God to pour into us so we can continue to love and care about others! Go in peace to love and serve The Lord! 
Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. (1 John 4:7-16 NIV)
