I don’t know what your view of God is. My default view is, and It really shouldn’t be as long as I’ve known him and as faithful as he has been and is being, that he is cool and distant.
Psalm 103 paints a picture that shows a better and more accurate description of who God is.
The Lord is compassionate and merciful, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. He will not constantly accuse us, nor remain angry forever. He does not punish us for all our sins; he does not deal harshly with us, as we deserve. For his unfailing love toward those who fear him is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth. He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west. The Lord is like a father to his children, tender and compassionate to those who fear him. For he knows how weak we are; he remembers we are only dust. Our days on earth are like grass; like wildflowers, we bloom and die. The wind blows, and we are gone— as though we had never been here. But the love of the Lord remains forever with those who fear him. His salvation extends to the children’s children of those who are faithful to his covenant, of those who obey his commandments!
Psalm 103:8-18 -NLT
I need to take a snapshot of this view of God and paste it up in my head, heart and soul so that I remember who God is. He is my father, tender and compassionate. With a love for me, for us, that remains forever.
