Is There a God and What Is God Like? Exploring the Evidence of Love

(Video link is at the bottom of the page.)

Whenever I kiss our cat on his forehead, he begins to purr. When I place my cheek against his and hear and feel the contentment of his purring, I sense an invisible but palpable energy of love pass between his consciousness and mine. He expresses and responds to love, as do I.

When I walked on the beach one wintry afternoon, with a half-moon riding along the clouds that flowed from a sunset over my favorite meadow, my soul lifted and expanded in response to the beauty and love expressed in front of me.

Moments like these are both common and ineffable. Is there any person in the entire world who has never felt even one moment of love, who has never felt even one moment of joy because of beauty? I do not believe there is.

Lives of tragedy, captivity, hostility, or pain may grind down our perception of love and beauty. Lives of busyness may distract us from the subtleties of life. But at some point, we all have experienced at least a fleeting encounter with a pure and transcendent moment of beauty, of kindness, and of love.

I submit that God is the author of that love and beauty—that God not only created all of the beauty that we perceive in the universe but, by God’s very nature, inhabits the beauty and love that we see all around us.
