For the same reason as you are human but not all humans are you. One of God's attributes is love but love cannot be God.

Human love is merely a reflection of God's love.

English is a weak language for talking about different kinds of love. The Greek of the New Testament is much better: • Eros: Romantic love • Philia: Brotherly (or sisterly) love • Storge: Parental love • Agape: Godly love Eros and philia are based on emotions and storge is almost an instinct. But Agape is a decision to wish for the best for someone. Christians are commanded to love (agape) their neighbors and enemies. This does not mean we have to like them or approve of their actions. This love (agape) is almost impossible to do without God's help. Do you love (agape) the terrorists who flew airplanes into the World Trade Center? With love in Christ.
