We are loved immeasurably by Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Why, then, do we often fear God as a stern taskmaster who imposes impossible rules and waits to catch us in misdeeds? Instead, let's be confident in his warmth.
God is love.
"Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of God, and he who loves is born of God and knows God..........for God is love" (1 John 4:8). God's very nature is love. He isn't capable of ill will, ridicule, or bad feelings. He can only love and want us to love.
God is only capable of wanting our good.
When someone loves us, he wants the very best for us. "For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope" (Jeremiah 29:11).
God doesn't want us to wonder about him.
We don't have to guess who he is. He makes it easy to come to know him."......... Let him who glories glory in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who practice steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth; for in these things I delight says the Lord" (Jeremiah 9:24). We get to know him through seeking him in prayer and action.
