I like that about Him

Earlier I wrote about walking away from God and how, at times, that seems like something much more easier than staying with Him. It made me think of something I had written elsewhere, which I now want to put here...along with other thoughts mixed in.

I have had hard relationships. I think all relationships are difficult. Now, maybe not in the same way, but in some area they all need work. My relationship with God is one that needs work on a daily basis. It is one that will always need work because I will always need to strive to be better...to be more like Him...to show His love. Like I said before sometimes I feel this need to walk away, which in all honesty is silly because I definitely do not need to walk away from Him, but I need more than anything to reach out my hand and grab Him, holding on for dear life. But in those times that I do walk away and I do (that's what sin is...me walking away from Him...to my desire...to my want...to my selfishness...) He doesn't walk away from me. When I walk away, saying "God, I am done with this." He gets it and doesn't push me, but in my heart I hear Him say, "Okay, well I will be here waiting for you. I am not going anywhere." And He keeps His promise. When I return He is still there, waiting for me, having never left. I like that about Him.


I like the fact that I don't really have to tell God what's going on because sometimes words don't come to me. It's nice to not always have to be speak, but just be... its nice that sometimes all I have to do is say His name and He gets it.

I like how when I mess up He doesn't throw it in my face and when I come to Him and say,"God I've really messed up, big time." He doesn't say "I told you so!" Even though He did...

I like how He forgives me....constantly, without any hesitation. Freely He gives it. All I have to do is ask and He forgives. I like how, at times I will say, "NO God, I am not forgiving that person!" But then, He works on my heart and I forgive, just like He forgives. I like how He helps me to forgive people I don't think at times deserve forgiving, how He helps me forgive....me.

I like how He knows who you need in your life....and who you don't. I like how there are people in my life who are so much like Him and who speak HIS TRUTH to me....even when its hard, even when I don't want to hear it

I like how when I read the Bible I feel like He is speaking directly to me. His words give me direction and guidance. They give me hope, they show me His love. I like that He wrote those words just for me.

I like how He has a plan....and its not one that I know or can see, but it will not fail. It will be much bigger than I can imagine and it will bring Him glory.

I like how when I am weak He is strong. So strong.

....There are so many things I like about Him. I know I will think of more things to add to this list and maybe I will.

Tell me- what do you like about Him?
