> a lot of people struggle to reconcile God's justice and His love
This shouldn't be so difficult when God describes Himself in ways we can easily understand.
If someone harms an earthly man's family, that loving, gentle, kindly family man may suddenly show wrathful violence towards his enemies the likes of which you've never seen from him - this is not some sudden lack of love on his part, but rather a display of it.
God chooses to describe Himself as our Father and also says He is like a husband to Israel - God is comparing Himself to what a man does for his family and says that He is like that for us.
