everyone seems to see God differently. Some see him with a hammer ready to judge other can come to him like a small child. I would like to show who God is to me by telling of what he has done for me and taught me and let you say what you think. I have never been able to sit at his feet and get to know him personally, I have never gotten to truly be in his presence. But the God that I see, know and love I have gotten to know because of how much of himself he has put in my heart. I do not yet have his eyes but he allows me to see through them sometimes, most of the time I am looking at other ppl. when I see a person the world see's as unattractive when I see a rude and wild person when I see condemning and judgmental person I see a rare and beautiful treasure. I see how God sees them as his children like a mother or father does, I see how deeply he loves them with a love that the human mind is unable to even imagine. I see how far he is willing to go to save that one lost little one and I can see how they are more important to him than his own throne.

Can you imagine how a pure righteous God sees past all the filth and sin in our souls and sees something worth dying for? even many Christians speak of his wrath and anger and judgement but they forget to know that his temper is short lasting and that in the very core of his heart is love. and believe me his love is more than our bodies can handle and I know from experience, the human body is not able to contain and handle the depth and richness of his love. He showed me this love of his once and my body could not take it I begged him to take me so may be in his arms forever because this love of his was so strong and so deep that all I could think about was how my body my burst and that I wanted to forever remain in this love with him. I think I know why he allowed me to experience this. you see to actually understand the depth and richness of his love you need to experience it

I am a Christian of love, it is all I ever think about and it defines my faith. I believe I am this way because Father showed me his love while I was in his arms and I think he did it so I would be a messenger and proclaim of this love and heart of his. It saddens me when I see ppl and Christians alike who love to preach of his wrath and anger even if they are trying to wake ppl up they are doing it the wrong way. a person cannot ever truly know him out of fear. true we are to get ppl to repent and change but to many ppl God is wrath anger and judgement and they usually use the Old testament for evidence of their view. He does have an angry side but his anger only lasts for a moment and does not define who he is. I believe we will know who he is by how much of him we become like

We have to love Him for what He's left us in written form, that's the main thing - because He is The Word of God.

Everybody has a different view of 'love' but God's love is a combo-package - 100% Love & 100% Holy -- that's His Nature and His Nature will never change. He is what or Who He is.

I fear that some may have a gushy God and they'll get awfully discouraged when they read the hard parts of the O.T. or even the New, where Peter was used to put to death a husband and wife for lying to the Spirit of God or when Paul blinded that man that was trying to stop others from hearing the Gospel - or when Jesus cleared the temple - or what Jesus states He'll do at His Return and so forth. "God is Love" indeed - but our view of love is often human and His Divine Love that is equally birthed out from His Holiness. You see John's reaction to first seeing how Jesus looks now in Rev 1 and this was Jesus' closest disciple that had his head on Jesus' chest at the last Passover supper and was given Jesus' mother to care for instead of Jesus' half-brothers ... "the disciple that Jesus loved" -- fell face down in awesome fear at the sight of the One that sits upon The Throne now. Awesome in Holiness - indescribable Glory & Majesty.

I live where most people still just see Him as a baby in a manger or a gentle milk-toast sort of son and nothing more. We need to see how He looks and is not and will look when He returns and what He will be doing on That Day that He returns -- so as to keep reality based of WHOM we serve. He's 100% Holy and 100% Love.

Bless you!!!

Exodus 34:5-7, "Then Yahweh descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the Name of YAHWEH. Yahweh passed in front of him, and proclaimed: YAHWEH, YAHWEH Almighty, merciful and compassionate, longsuffering, and abounding in righteousness and truth. Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity, and transgression, and sin; but by no means leaving unpunished those who are guilty; Who visits the sin of the fathers upon the children and the children's children, to the third and fourth generation."

JESUS IS GOD Who came down to earth in the form of man.

Jesus is the only name by which we may be saved.

We do not know Jesus by our experiences - we can only truly know Him through His Word - for He said "I am the Word".

Funny about experiences - They come from the Word.

it is when I read the Words posted above, where He lays down His life for us, that I truly feel His sacrificial presence.

It is when I read that I will live even if I die, that I feel His eternal life forever coursing through me.

It is when I read that He is the gate, that I feel Him holding the door open for me, inviting me.

It is when I read that He is the light of the world, that I feel warm inside, full of His light and radiance.

It is when I read that He is the bread of life, that I feel so very satisfied - my soul and spirit nourished.

This is the month we are reminded of Jesus' name "Immanuel" which means God With Us.

And The Word became flesh and dwelt with us - John 13:4

I wonder if we'll see the two witnesses do what His Word tells us that they'll be doing. Not that I'm up to a lot of excitement - but I'm sure that many will accuse them of "not being loving" as well.
Phewy - what days those will be. Reckon the most exciting since back when the Prophets or Apostles were here: boy oh boy.
