What kind of picture of God do you carry in your heart and mind? Do you feel He is for you or against you, far away or close by? Does He weep when you weep? When life goes wrong, do you feel it’s God punishing you?
Your picture of God will show in your actions, attitudes, and how you live for Him. The more you study your Bible and the life of Jesus, the more accurate your picture of God will become.
As you grow in God's Word and the trials of life, your picture of God will change and continue to develop. It won’t be complete until you see Him face to face.
1 John 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
