2.1 My View of God
-
What do I think about God – not enough room – steadfast – unwavering – good good father who wants the best for me- trusting – caring. Truth in love when I need it. A few of the many

Throughout my life in Christ, God has taken me on a journey where I have come to know Him more and more through the (sometimes very difficult and experiences) experiences. He has shown Himself to me as my Confident, My Hope, My Comfort, My Joy, My Helper and Redeemer, My Shepherd, My Provider, the God Who Sees, the God of Surprises, the One Who Comforts, and as Infinite and Wonderful and Sovereign Lord. Above all, Good. It is this later knowledge that sustains me when I have times of confusion about why something is happening (or why something isn’t happening). I always remember the words of one of my pastors many years ago who found his alcoholic father dead in the snow and clutching a 50 dollar bill. This is a heart-wretching scene. It seems so utterly desperate and hopeless. But, my pastor said, “I remembered: God has done all things well.” He trusted that even in the final moments of his life, his father might have called on the name of the Lord and been saved—and this gave my pastor peace. So, no matter what, this word is impressed on my soul, “He has done all things well. ” Habakkuk 3.17-19.

I think of God as a loving father, affectionate, powerful, Sovereign, wise, etc.
The word of God in the book of John 15:5b says; “For without me ye can do nothing”.
So we must accept and trust Jesus to help direct and plan our lives and our family.
He is the Way, the only way, He is the Truth, and the Life. –John 14:6.
Thank you Jesus.

When you think of God, what do you think of? (no Sunday School answers!)
I think of He knows all about me, he cares and he has plans for me. He is my Daddy in heaven , he is the source of all I need .
