GOD IS… THOUGHTS ON THE NATURE OF GOD

* He has an immense, immeasurable and eternal compassion.  His compassion is
  always greater than our sin.
* He is whole heartedly passionate about us.  We consume His thoughts.
* He is scandalously forgiving.  His mercy burns as it destroys shame.
* He has unbounded patience, unending goodness.
* His love is so compelling ... it heals us.  It strips away all our pretense and restores us
  to happiness.
* His grace is the Empowering Presence within that enables us to feel good about
  ourselves.
* His mercy is His total favor given gladly to the undeserving heart.
* He is the kindest person to have ever existed.  His goodness is so outrageous and
  shocking ... it is actually disreputable to the religious minded.
* He is enthusiastically fervent in His pursuit of us.
* He is amazingly humble and gentle but also a powerful Warrior King who loves to fight
  and who laughs at His enemies.
* He has a fabulous servant spirit, needing no title, status or position but joyfully sets an
  example of simple heartwarming slavery.
* His love is enthralling.  It captivates and commands us to be the same.
* He delights in listening to us and helping us.
* His love is designed to overwhelm all things especially fear, shame, low self esteem.
* He loves being trusted.  He is delightful and astonished when we use our faith.
* He will never keep a record of our sins or failings.
* He is our Prince of Peace - we are not allowed to worry anymore.
* He is our provider so we need not be anxious about our needs.
* He has mercy that can never be properly understood or articulated ... just
  experienced!  The only way we can explain mercy is by being merciful ourselves!
* Jesus the Redeemer gives us value in the eyes of the Father.
* He sees and speaks to our potential.  He both protects us and releases us to fulfill all
  that he wants us to see and know about ourselves.
* He gives us the fruit of the Spirit as His provision for the integrity of our lifestyle.
* He gives us His very own life, character and nature.       
* He is never affected by our performance - His love is constant.
THE EMPOWERING PRESENCE WITHIN
