It was the apostle of love John who wrote those words ,'God is love', ( 1 John 4 v 8) one man wrote the following ,'We do not believe in a mocking and capricious God,or in a blind and iron determinism'. His love reaches out to a wounded broken world with a heart of love.His love is always motivated towards what is best for us.Romans 8 v28 tells us,'And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him,who have been called according to His purpose'.It does not say that all things are good but as one writer puts it,'It promises that God orchestrates all circumstances positive or negative for the ultimate spiritual good for believers'. Browning wrote the following,
''God, Thou art love! I build my faith on that,
I know Thee who has kept my path and made
Light for me in the darkness,tempering sorrow
So that it reached me like a solemn joy.
It were too strange that I should doubt Thy love''
