Knowing God’s Character
I’ve asked the question before, “What kind of God do I serve?” Some folks would paint Him as a mean God, full of fire and brimstone. Another folks would consider Him as a aloof God, so distant and hard of hearing.
The truth is, I used to compare God with my own parents. My parents are generous, so naturally I considered God is a generous one. My Dad is also hot tempered, so I thought God got angry a lot, too.
The real truth of God’s character is in the Bible.
God knows my situation. He knows about my pain, grief, hurts, and struggles. He knows what I need before I ask him.
God cares about my situation. He knows that I’m weak and constantly needs help. God has compassion for me. He wants the best to happen to me. He wants to bless me. I just have to let Him by surrendering my life, and accept Christ as my personal Lord and savior.
Until I understand God’s true character, I can’t completely trust Him.
