God our father wants
a relationship with you. He wants you to talk to him and when you spend time
with him and in his word everyday he will talk back to you. He will guide your
life and your life will be more rich than you ever imagined. The more I give time
I give to God the more my life is blessed. When I follow his will for my life I
am blessed so much I feel like I am going to burst.
God is love. God
loves you no matter what. You don't have to do anything for his love. He just
loves you. You don’t need to be perfect. He just loves us. This is the hardest
one for me to grasp. I had no clue what unconditional love was like. I always
had to perform to feel loved so this was completely new to me when Brian and I
got married and then to think God love me like that but even more as
incomprehensible to me. Now I now that love.
God is perfect. This
is another hard concept for me as nothing in this world is perfect. People will
always let you down. You think you know someone but they will turn around and
stab you in the back. You think you know someone and then they turn petty and
try to hurt you. God isn't like this. He is perfect. He will never hurt you. I
didn't say that he won't discipline you. Remember God is also love and
sometimes the ones we love need discipline to learn their lesson.
Right along with
this goes god is faithful. God will always be there no matter what. No matter
how many times we turn from him when we turn back to him he will be there. When
we sin we can confess our sins to him and he will forgive us. He said in the bible
that they way to him is through Jesus. That if we believe in Jesus we will have
eternal life. He will be faithful in this. Do you believe in Jesus?
God is merciful.
Again God doesn't save us because he has to. In Titus 3:5 Paul tells us God
saves us because he is merciful. That God sent Jesus to die on a cross for us
because he is merciful. He wanted us to have a way to him.
God is also patient.
He is the most patient person. Can you imagine allowing you kids to make the
same mistakes over and over again and just by saying "I'm sorry" you
forgive them and move on? I know I get exasperated every time my kids make the
same mistake. I finally yell or scream or get angry. God doesn't he just keeps
turning the other cheek and let us hit him again. He lets us keep driving nails
into Jesus as he hangs on the cross. And when we are ready to come back to him
we ask for forgiveness. The best part
about that forgiveness is that he forgets all about our transgressions.
God has many other
attributes. Have you ever studied the
attributes of God? It is a really great way to get to know who God is and start
to really form a relationship with him. If you never have why don’t you start today
and study the attributes of God. You won't be sorry you did.
