Our God is a God of Love.  Therefore, His love is higher than ours.  In English, we have only one word for love, but in Hebrew, there are four.  In the Old Testament, the word for the love of God is Haceed.

Haceed is an overwhelming desire 
to give of yoursself to the other person,
for thier benefit, no matter what it costs you.

The word haseed is normally translated as either love, mercy, or compassion. However, with the definition above, haceed love is much deeper than our normal understanding of these words.  In this list, the word hacees is in bold.
