God, at his deepest level, is a lover (1 John 4:8). he is relationally oriented, and relationally driven. He desires connection with us from womb to tomb: "I have loved you with an everlasting love" (Jer. 31.3). God's loving nature isn't passive. It's active. Love multiplies itself. God the relational Lover is also God the aggressive Creator. He wants to fill up his universe with beings who care for him - and for each other.
