God The Romantic

Since mankind has been created in God's image (Genesis 1:26-27), we possess similar characteristics. One of those characteristics being the ability to love God and to love others (Matthew 22:36-40). Thus God is a romantic at heart (see definition #4-6).

God's love for mankind knows no limitations (John 3:16-17; Romans 5:6-11; Romans 8:35-39; cf. Deuteronomy 32:7-12; Matthew 23:37) and only wants what's best for each one of us (Deuteronomy 4:29-40; Deuteronomy 6:24-25; Deuteronomy 10:12-15).

Artists from all over the world have emphasized and illustrated what it is to be a romantic in their paintings and music. The following are examples of such, emphasizing and illustrating the words "love"; "romance"; or "romantic":

1) Paintings See here, here, here, here, here, here, and here. 

2) Music See here, here, herehereherehere, hereherehere, and here.

Both paintings and music here.

Beloved, let us praise God, the Romantic!
