You know how, when you're around some people, you just love them? Right from the start, there's an instant connection. It's like you've always known each other. When you think of love you might think about a significant relationship, where someone 'got you'. They understood you. It's nice to be cherished and appreciated for your uniqueness but as nice as those feelings are, God's Love isn't a feeling, and it's not based in the world. In our human thinking, we're conditioned to think of love through the eyes of meeting certain criteria (i.e. common interests or goals).
Imagine, if you will, loving someone you've never met. Yea, this may sound preposterous initially, but in the Kingdom, Love does not need a target. Love is it's own entity, it's God. Real Love isn't based on a past or future meeting, because you've accepted a greater truth. The greater truth is that you're already connected with each other, without worldly conditions. In the Kingdom dimension, coming face-to-face could be said to be irrelevant.
In the Earthly dimension, Love must be face-to-face. This is where the Angels are in continual awe. The power of the entire Gospel is contained within God connecting to man, in spite of man's performance. Connection is entirely based on His performance. God loved me first, called me His Son, even before I knew His name. Just by God being who He is, He Loves. This Love never fails to opens our eyes. It reveals the vapor of life we've embraced, revealing it's temporary. Further, it reveals a heavenly dimension we're invited to call our home, now. Love is God's language and as we speak it, others eyes are opened. Love breaks down the barriers built by logic, allowing God to be seen; and just as important, it allows self to be seen from God's perspective (I Cor. 13:12).
