Allowing myself to receive God's love was once impossible for me due to my reward-response belief system.
But then my mind was opened and through the power of The Holy Spirit, I was able to grasp this verse.
He is the author and originator of love. HE IS LOVE. There is nothing I can do to earn His pure, authentic, unconditional love.
His love is given freely to me and He says I am somehow worthy. He does not love me in response to anything I do! WOW!
Once I grasped this, I was able to chose to receive His love, which, He reminded me, was covering and carrying me all along.
