For centuries, humanity has debated the nature of God. Philosophers, theologians, and seekers have searched for definitions, doctrines, and dogmas to contain the infinite. But for me, the closest truth I have experienced is this: God is Love, and Love is God.
This understanding did not come from books alone, but from life itself. In moments of despair, it was love — the unconditional love of family, the compassion of mentors, the quiet strength of those who stood by me — that gave me the courage to rise. In moments of success, it was love — for my work, for my people, for the greater good — that kept me grounded.
Love, at its purest, has no agenda. It does not seek to control, possess, or dominate. It simply gives, without expecting anything in return. That essence, to me, is divine. When we love unconditionally, we are closest to God. When we withhold love, we distance ourselves from that source.
This perspective changes how we lead and how we live. If God is Love, then every interaction is a spiritual act. How we treat strangers, how we respect differences, how we forgive mistakes — each is an expression of the divine in action.
Religions may differ in rituals and narratives, but the essence they point toward is the same: Love as the highest law. If more leaders, families, and societies embraced this truth, we would move closer to harmony, not conflict.
In the end, the question is not whether God exists in temples, scriptures, or heavens. The question is whether we allow God — through Love — to exist in us. Because when Love flows, God is already present.
