God is love, gracious, emphathy, kind, all powerful and truly caring


Yes, God is all the good things we want in our life. He is love, kind, caring gracious, a listener, and truly great!! God is the friend we want, the great parent that we wish for, the ultimate guy you rarely find out there. He is everything right?


To have God in life is to have hope, a purpose, something to live for. It is to value life, and to value yourself. Jesus once said; love your neighbor as yourself. It is difficult to love your neighbor if you do not love yourself. So God reminds us to love ourselves first.

Loving ourselves means a lot. It means making the right choices in our lives. This is not easy, but to be able to make the right choice, you have to have a plan, a purpose of life and the courage to make these choices even if they are tough. For instance, when you realize a friend you thought you had has been betraying you; sometimes the best thing to do is just ignore them. You know, friendship is two way traffic. If one does not reciprocate, it makes no sense to hang in only to get hurt. Moving on may be a difficult choice but it is always the right one. In fact, moving on will give you the opportunity to make new friends. I believe, God would appreciate a man or woman who makes their own principled and smart choices.

 I also believe that since God is love, compassion, gracious and all kind, he would appreciate if you anyone declined to abide by abusive teachings. God make us into rational beings. He gave us brains to seek wisdom with and to ask the right questions. He would expect that we would say no to anyone who would tell us to kill ourselves for their sake. He would expect that we would not allow our health to be compromised just because we have to obey others. He would not want us to be sheepish in accepting everything we are told without question. True, God would be unhappy with us if we did not use the intellect he created all of us with in inquiring about issues and concerns in our society.

So, do not be misled that God enjoys when we suffer. He does not. He cries with us and would love for us to make the choice not to allow ourselves to be mistreated or abused. Let us all do the right thing. Let us not allow anyone to abuse us, no matter who they are. And let us not watch as those we love get abused. Gain the courage to say no. Seek help if you must. Let's all try to emulate God. God's virtues are compassionate, loving, kindness and justice for all. Read more here..
