Love, God (Vol 6)
“But what about you?” He asked. “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” Matthew 16:15-16
Dear Child of Mine,
Let me start off with a joke:
“Knock. Knock”
“Who’s there?”
“God.”
“God who?”
“That’s what I want to know. Who do you think I am?”
First of all, I will tell you who I am NOT. I am not human. I am not liar. I am not someone who doesn’t follow through. I do what I say I will do. I am not someone who breaks promises. I fulfill every promise I make.
Now, some may say I’m their strength, protector, persistent help, and that I am merciful, gracious, and compassionate. Others say that I am great, mighty, and awesome. It has been noted that I am the God of gods and the Lord of lords, and that I am with you wherever you may go. And I must say, all of this is true!
In Exodus 3:14 I said to Moses, “I-AM-WHO-I-AM.”
So, back to the joke…who do YOU say that I am?
I love you,
God
