Do you understand that ALL love is from God and that the devil CANNOT love?

Yes! And John wrote a lot about that in his gospel and epistles which were a response to the heresies spreading throughout the church aat that time form the disciples of Simon Magus, anticipating the coming of Marcion, a disciple of Simon Magus, who maligned the Father of Jesus, and mocked Him, and tried to drive a theological wedge between them. But John wrote that One cannot have the Father without the Son and the Son without the Father, for the love of the one is entwined with the love of the other.

Remember though the words of Paul to the Corinthians:

"Love rejoices not in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth" [I Cor 13:4]. Where there is no truth, there can be no love of God
