Is love God?

"God is love." We were taught that the converse is not true. That
is, love is not God. On face that sounds so, but I'm not so sure.
Again, there is so much theology that cannot be comprehended in a
seminary course- and so much that cannot even be approached with
any real understanding without a lot of living. So later when you
have experienced some of the raw realities of life you can begin to
reflect on the meaning of what you were taught. Love that is not
"personal" does not exist. So, love must be God; since it exists
before we "arrive". Love is only the "expression" of a person or
personality. A person is identical with his manifestations- his
"expressions", his "nature"(?). So, love is God. To say otherwise
is to imply: 1. Love is a free-floating "what?" or 2. Love is "one"
of God's "emotions"?? What could that mean? or 3. Love exists by
itself (whatever it is!). or 4. We have only vague ideas what love is;
in which case we don't know what we're talking about when we say love
is not God. I'm inclined to believe love IS God. (We are not speaking of
his "essence" - of which we can say nothing- but of his "energies"-
what have been revealed). Then it's up to us to pursue the implications
of this- assuming it's true. And if it's not, then what is it? If God
is love, then what IS love? It appears it cannot be defined. It's like
"The Color Purple", or red, or green: if you're blind, no amount of
description can ever make it known to you. Any suggestions?
