It is true God is Love.
But God is also jealous
I found 18 different occurrences where God is called Jealous, or the scripture refers to His Jealousy.

God is

Jesus willingly put aside His divine glory and became the lowest of humans, a poor carpenter from a backwater town in Galilee. He suffered and because he obediently suffered the death of a slave, he was crowned with glory and honor. The idea was to bring many of God’s children to the same glory,

Again, I want to refer to Christopher Wright’s book Knowing Jesus Through the Old Testament. He asks the question, Why does Matthew start his gospel with the genealogy of Jesus? Why didn’t he go straight to the wonderful story of the Magi? It's "because, says Matthew, you won’t understand that

Although there were a variety of beliefs among the ancient Jews as to who was being spoken of in Isaiah 53, a Targum (paraphrase) and the Talmud evidences that many understood this to refer to the Messiah:

OPEN YOUR EYES
My granddaughter was here yesterday. She is two years old. I pointed out some pelicans sitting on a pole, but for a long time she could not see them. She didn't know where to look.

GIVE WHILE YOU'RE STILL ALIVE
I remember a friend of mine suggesting that waiting until after your death to give the people you love something you want them to have is not the best way to do it. If you wait until they get it from your will, in many cases, they must pay an inheritance tax on it.
