God is Love, we are taught as children to believe. But when we first begin to get some inkling of how He loves us, we are repelled; it seems so cold, indeed, not love at all as we understand the word.

Summary

This quote suggests that there may be a discrepancy between our understanding of love and the way in which God loves us. At first, when we try to comprehend this divine love, it can appear distant and devoid of warmth, challenging our conventional notions of love. However, this quote implies that our initial repulsion stems from our limited understanding and perspective. It encourages us to transcend our narrow understanding and explore a deeper and more profound understanding of God's love, which may ultimately be different from what we initially expect.
