Psalms 36:5-7
Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens,
your faithfulness to the clouds.
Your righteousness is like the mountains of God;
your judgments are like the great deep;
man and beast you save, O Lord.
How precious is your steadfast love, O God!
The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings.

God’s love is the predominant theme of the Bible. Because of His great love He designed the plan of salvation and sacrificed His Son for our redemption. It is God’s Love that propels His every step in our lives. Because of God’s love for us and our love for Him we can know that all things are for His purposed and our good:
Romans 8:28
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
Because of His great love and trusting in that love we have no fear:
1 John 4:16-18
So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.
Because God “perfectly” loves us, we have no fear because what He allows in our lives is “perfect” for us. God ONLY allows the things He wants into our lives. Because He loves us He will not allow any harm to come to us. We might have suffering in this life, but, even the suffering He allows is to cause us to lean more heavily on Him:
2 Corinthians 12:9-10
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
God’s Love enables us to live in a way to glorify Him. It is steadfast and NEVER leaves us.
