"Have you ever asked yourself, 'Who is God?' If you have, you're not alone."
Many of us grow up hearing about God, but never really knowing who He truly is. So today, we start at the very beginning - with the most important question of all.
Who is God?
God is not the one who hurts us - He is the one who heals us. God saw the sin that entered the world and came down from heaven as Jesus, who paid the penalty for our sins so we wouldn't have to. He never promised that we wouldn't face struggles and pain in this fallen world, but He did give us free will - the freedom to choose Him. Love isn't real if it's forced, so God lets us choose. But He promises that those who choose Him will never walk alone. He will never leave us or forsake us. He will be with us through every trial, and when this life is over, He will create a new Heaven and a new earth with no more pain or sorrow, where every tear will be wiped away.
"These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." -- John 16:33
For many years, I didn't know who God really was. I thought He didn't care what I went through, and later I believed He was punishing me. But as I grew and learned the truth, I realized God had been with me the whole time - healing, guiding, and slowly showing me who He really is.
When you think about God, what is the first feeling that comes to your heart?
