Consumed by His Love

*Listen to the Show notes and podcast transcript with this multi-language player. Summary This conversation reveals that God is not merely loving—He is love in His very nature. His love is not emotional but intentional, always working toward our best interest. Through trials, correction, and even suffering, God is drawing believers deeper into Himself, refining them so they can fully walk in His love. The ultimate goal is to live continually in that love, allowing it to transform, sustain, and mature us into His nature.
