There is also a difference between thinking, knowing , and experiencing it. Only the Holy Spirit can make you feel the kind of Love God has for you . We know theory, what we can read in the Bible about love it is nothing compared to how that love feels. The Bible says God is LOVE, Do we really understand what this means? In 1 Corinthians 13, describes how God is. all those wonderful characteristics of LOVE that'st how God is. God did not create Love God is LOVE. LOVE has to be experienced , and also we grow in LOVE which is the FRUIT of the Spirit we must produce and as we produce this LOVE, we become more like Jesus. So if we compare how we love and our understanding of 1 Corinthians 13, then we can measure ourselves against how God is, but we should not be discouraged because the Love we are producing or the Spirit is producing in us , is what Jesus meant when He said, Store treasures in heaven....and whatever the capacity of love we have, it will never be decreased, so lets keep following the Lord because that love will increase more and more and therefore we will know God more and more and we will be happier more and more also. ,
