Thanks for joining me for Day 2 of my week of celebration! =) (Don’t miss the Giveaway at the end of this post.)
Celebrating Who God Is!
One of the blessings God gave me through the years of suffering was that He drew me closer to Himself. He showed me more about who He is. He gave me a deeper relationship with Him than I thought possible.
It’s one thing to be taught that God is good or loving, etc. It’s another thing to experience the reality of those truths in the midst of deep pain. That’s when we truly discover how great our God is!
Today I praise God for who He is! He is –
Powerful
Kind
Patient
Forgiving
Faithful
Gracious
Good
Loving
…and much more!
Whatever we go through, God doesn’t change. He is and always will be far greater than we can comprehend.
God continues increasing my awe of Him and my love for Him. And in spite of the hardships, knowing Jesus fills me with greater joy than words can express!
Here’s a special song for you today about experiencing the joy of God’s love. =)

Giveaway!
The book that dramatically expanded my understanding of God is “Knowledge of the Holy” by A.W. Tozer. I have a well-loved copy of this book to give away today!
To enter, just post a comment sharing a truth about who God is that has been meaningful to you lately. I’ll select one winner from the entries and announce it in tomorrow’s post. =)
So true! Thank you for sharing!
God is gracious. I'm amazed at His willingness to use broken vessels like us. In spite of the disqualifications that we bring, He chooses to use us as part of His beautiful plan. He also loves us enough to patiently shape us into the person that He created us to be. He sees within us the finished work, even though we are not yet complete. He places us in a status that we have not earned. He tells us who we are because of Him. He sees us as righteous, because of the blood of Jesus that covers us…. The prodigal son had a robe and a ring placed on him as soon as he came home. Not only that, his Father RAN to meet him, being fully aware of where he had been. He is truly gracious, loving, powerful, faithful, patient, good, and so much more…….
