I think God is loving but maybe it’s my own perceptions that are limited? I don’t adhere to religion per se, but part of my thinking might come from religions. I don’t have a prerequisite that a god is tantamount to a genie in a bottle that should grant my every wish and provide me with a life free of pain. I guess the question is - if God allows suffering etc then how can he be loving?
I think it’s difficult to convince people that one almighty God loves them, when they are hurting and some of that hurt might be coming from their families, loved ones, etc
It’s hard to be loving sometimes ourselves and many people have different ideas of how to define it. But if my definition of “godly love” is to experience a life void of strife and others to do the same, my opinion of God being loving would be negative.
Just my opinion, fwiw.
