God is not figuratively, but literally Love.

We are God searching for itself. So what is God? God is the need to Love and to be Loved in return. It is this what we essentially are; we are this need itself, we are this need made manifest in order to experience Love for it is our (God's) deepest longing. We are our own purpose. No wonder then why it is said that God is Love... My God indeed... I love you all...
