Absolutely, Yellowstone. I agree wholeheartedly. The plan of God bringing about many sons and daughters through being created in His image is all about love. God is love. Noone can argue with that. But, don't take my word on it.
(Luk 6:26) Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers did according to these things to the false prophets.
(Luk 6:27) But I say to you, Those hearing: Love the ones hostile to you, do good to those hating you,
(Luk 6:28) bless those cursing you and pray for those insulting you.
(Luk 6:29) To those striking you on the cheek, turn the other also. And from those taking your garment, do not keep back the tunic also.
(Luk 6:30) And to everyone asking you, give. And do not ask back from those taking your things.
(Luk 6:31) And according as you desire that men should do to you, you also do the same to them.
(Luk 6:32) And if you love those who love you, what thanks is there to you? For even sinners love those who love them.
(Luk 6:33) And if you do good to those who do good to you, what thanks is there to you? For even the sinners do the same.
(Luk 6:34) And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what thanks is there to you? For the sinners lend to sinners so that they may receive the equal things.
(Luk 6:35) But love the ones hostile to you, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be much; and you will be sons of the Most High, for He is kind to the unthankful and evil ones.
(Luk 6:36) Therefore, be merciful, even as your Father also is merciful.
(Luk 6:37) Judge not, and in no way be judged. Do not condemn, and in no way you will be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
(Luk 6:38) Give, and good measure will be given to you, pressed down and shaken together, and running over, they will give into your bosom. For the same measure which you measure, it will be measured back to you.
These words speak volumes of the character of the God we worship in Spirit and truth. When that love is in us, this is what we will do towards others. Not earthly carnal minded love, but the heavenly love that came down, and gave of Himself unselflessly, but to do the will of the Father. To search for the will of the Father, to follow Christ, with His Spirit is love.
God bless,
