God

Who do you think about when you hear Gods name?
Most people think love, but to limit the creator of the universe to one characteristic would be unheard of. Not only is God so much more, but we can't even understand His ways.
I am going to try and describe the God of the world with my little tiny, limited brain.
God is:
Holy
Eternal
Infinite
love
Compassion
Mercy
Humble
Jealous for us
Just
All knowing
Omnipresent
Personal
Immortal
Good
All powerful
Creator
Fair
Forgiveness
Worthy
Glorious
Opposite of sin
Due all the glory, praise, and worship that we could ever give Him in every second for all of eternity
3 different beings at once, everywhere

He can't be contained in the world. He cant be explained by our vocab, or understood by our brains. I love in Revelation 4 when John describes Him in heaven. How every creature around Him cant even look at Him and all they can do is praise Him constantly. A God so powerful and Holy will receive glory, praise, and worship no matter what. Even if we don't praise Him, Luke 19:40 says that the rocks will!
I hate to see people who constantly look around them for their purpose. Whether it is the girl who is looking for the next guy to be important to, or the guy who is looking for the opportunity to prove how important he is, we are all searching for happiness. And while this earth can bring temporary semi-happiness, God freely gives us the chance to experience joy in Him everyday. We were created to be in relationship with Him and without this, life is mediocre.
When I think of Gods love for me, I don't deny that He is God. His love is so perfect that I am completely satisfied. The love between Him and His people is absolutely perfect. It works so well. We give Him glory and praise and He gives us mercy and love even though we don't deserve it. He loves us so much that He sent part of Himself in human form to die so that we may live life abundantly. When I think about the Son of God dying for me, things start getting real. No longer do I care about temporary pleasures. I wholeheartedly want to serve Him alone and bring Him glory. And that is when He can use our lives.
