God

Just some thoughts about God, His nature or character.

• Supreme over all - able and active in the world
• Bringing down the proud, greedy, 'important,' power-hungry
• Raising up, satisfying, sustaining, 'seeing' the lowly, humble, needy, the 'nobodies'
• Merciful - not only wanting to forgive, to help, to heal, but providing the legal means to deal with sin in order to be merciful and remain just
• He speaks - not some distant unknowable deity who remains invisible, untouchable, impersonal.  He speaks in personal words, whispers, stories, songs, love songs, sometimes warnings and discipline, but always personal.
• It isn't about living a 'godly' lifestyle, or doing great deeds, it is (His will for us is) about KNOWING Him, about listening to His heart and doing what He says because we love Him.
• He wants us to know and love Him, and He wants us to see more clearly the reality of life, the true values, the real weights and measures, what is really important, what really matters.

Just some of my random thoughts about our God.
