God is love: 1 John 4 centers this discussion, where Pastor Kris uses the word abiding–an uncommon, peculiar word in an acquisitive, active world–to highlight the steadfast love that God reveals to us in Christ. The author of John winnows God's holy essence to love, abiding love. Love to be seen and shared in our kindness, compassion, care, and listening. May you find abiding joy in loving your brothers and sisters as you love God.
