What do you love most about God?

Postby Yuki-Anne » Sat Jan 15, 2011 4:27 pm

Okay, so here's a thread for just praising God for who He is and what He has done, specifically in your life.

I love that God doesn't let our experiences go to waste. Even if something awful happens, He can turn it around and make what results from it something really beautiful. Sometimes, the pain that comes in the middle of the story makes the end of the story so poignant and lovely that it hurts, in a good way.

I also love that we worship a God who is creative enough to make hands. For some reason, hands always remind me of the creativity of God, because I could never think of such ingenious, useful, and beautiful things.

Romans 5:10 "For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life."

That Jesus would die for many people who hated Him and who willfully made themselves His enemies!

And that by His death life bloomed and came to us who were so ungodly. That Jesus willingly took my hell and punishment, and experienced this hell and the wrath of His Father Himself to save me!

And that I am not only forgiven, but have benefits Adam and Eve could not even dream of let alone have. For I am united to Jesus Christ (The Infinite Existence) in such a special and close way that it is called a marriage! I "shall" therefore, be much more "saved by His Life."

Really I don't have the words to describe what I love most about God. My words just don't seem to add up to how amazing He is.

But I shall try to explain myself...
The very fact that we are loved by Majesty...even though we are so tiny and insignificant, it is significant insignificance. Because out of all the universe God Thinks of us, and he LOVES us...in spite of ourselves...

I Love God for the JOY that he brings... for the peace that he gives...and for just being THERE. Even when no one else is around, God is...

I Love God for loving us so much that he would die for us, even though we deserve something much worse, God had other plans for us. I love that he wants a relationship with US...and he'll wait for us to come running to him.

There's so much to say, that it can't all fit in this tiny reply box... lolo

1. I love how he lifts me up when I'm down on my knees and the feeling he gives me when he embraces me in his love.

2. I love how I spend hours working up sweat on all manner of advanced texts and contingency plans concerning "destiny" and "purpose", and how he can give it all to me in two words, addling me for years to follow from the sheer simplicity of it.

3. I love the person he has made of me over the years, of what he has healed and brought forth from that frightened and self-destructive child of years past. Perfect no, but even in my present form, I take it as a reward.

4. I love the feeling of protection I feel when he embraces me at my most vulnerable, taking away all of fears and leaving me with wonder, spiritual warmth and a feeling of unbounded security.

5. I particularly love his example and teaching of love that he gave to us, so that we might know a path to live a full and blessed life with one another in this world and the next. His character surely will always give me someone to look up to.

6. I love that no matter where I may go, he always welcomes me home to return to rest my head and given me a family to share my life with.

7. I love that when all is said and done, no matter how the world treats me or others, that he shall come and find me and make the world right again. And the world shall know, through his adoption of me, that I will be able to call him my Dad, and Jesus Brother (never had a brother before this). No matter what they do to me here, they'd certainly think twice before hurting me ever again.

8. I love that he defeated death and rose from the grave so that he could return to me, and I could be with him.

9. I love his wisdom when he chooses to share it personally with me - even though I don't like the years I personally spend struggling with even the simplest of things he says.

10. I love that a day, one that will soon seem ever so soon when we get there, shall arrive when I will not be able to contain what I love about him in ten lines, nor the tomes of many books. Nor will anyone else, in those days when every soul will know the indescribable joy and their love of him shall over-flow their hearts at bowing before my God.

I love God for His patiance in being able to put up with me. Self-loathing, negative, nasty, fearful, stubborn, sinful me. I love God because He is kind and loving and because He sent His one and only son to die for me and everyone around me. I love God because He is merciful and gives us all a chance to come to Heaven even though we don't deserve it. I love God because He is the most loving, kind, merciful, just and forgiving being this world will ever know.
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

The fact he's real and is God (and everything that comes with him)
And this I pray, that your love would abound still, more and more with real knowledge and all discernment. Be prepared to preach the gospel at a moment's notice. Do you know the gospel well enough to do so yourself? Be ready.

Out of God's nature flows all things good, holy, pure, righteous and loving. The reality is that there are an infinite number of things to love about God, and for me, the best way to express all of those with my inadequate words is to credit it back to the source.

Stole it right out of my mouth....

I love that he's perfectly faithful, and that even when circumstances aren't good here, we'll ultimately find the peak of goodness when we see God in heaven.

I love that he's so vast that he's larger than the mind-blowingly large universe he created, and that there's always new things to know about Him.

I love that we find the greatest security in His loving arms.

There is nothing I love 'most' about God. To me, everything can be summarised into one word: love. If you want to be more precise, 'Divine Love'. He is a constant source of love, comfort, support, security, optimism and perseverance. Whereas I have opened myself up to people and loved them with whole my heart, and they might have loved me similarly, their love is not as powerful and all-encompassing as God's. But that is not a slight towards them at all; it just says that much more about God's love.

I love that he created you guys with all the different creative ways you express things, and encouragement that your love for Him gives me. ^_^

I love that he created all of my friends, and that he is ultimately the creative force behind all human creativity. I find it mind-boggling that someone could invent something like an electric car or a microwave, and how much more mind-boggling is it that God created the minds that created those things!

I love the different languages he created and all of the beautiful, unique ways that those languages communicate the scope of human existence.

I know that He's always there for me so that I can rattle off all my worries, troubles, and sins that I don't feel comfortable telling anyone else, even my own parents, and then forgive me for who knows how many times. People say that He's omnipresent, but I think that He's also omniforgiving.

I'm heavily medicated atm so I will probably add to this later.

1. That He is both father and mother to me in terms of nurturing, discipline, love, and mercy.

2. He is all-forgiving especially when I'm at my worst. And he promises that my current suffering will be temporary.

This is just a start so yeah.
I am on the forefront of battle against the demons of earth. All Praise and Glory be given to God Forever and Ever!

You know those cartoons where the one character will be trying to get away from the other, but wherever they go the other character shows up unexpectedly?

Yeah. God is like that sometimes. I'll be going around doing whatever and then he'll show up in front of me in some form or other and be like "Yo!" and I'll be like "Bwaah!"

Most notably, he did it about two years ago when I heard/saw Black Rock Shooter, and my desktop has had one BRS image or another on it almost constantly ever since. My life is really driven by where God leads me and not where I take it. Which is a wonderful thing because I'm too much of a lazy bum to make decisions for myself.

So yeah, I think what I love most about God is that his love is displayed through the whole universe and in every culture of humankind in every corner of the earth. He takes on many appearances, and is impossible to miss if you know what his spirit is like. I use 'spirit' in the artistic sense and the feeling sense as well as the spiritual sense. No other spirit is so...so freaking universal and so full of life than the holy spirit of God.

That He doesn't scrap the lot of us like any other sensible deity would.
Actually, there's a lot of things He's done that seem to make no sense, yet work out brilliantly. For instance, appearing in the form of a flaming shrubbery. Completely random, but it caught Moses' attention. The whole conversation is actually quite funny.
SEE THAT SNAKE?
Er, yeah...
