What Is God Like?
February 16th, 2008
During my personal Bible studies I made an amazing discovery. Before I started I asked God to show me His love more. And boy did He! I opened my Bible and read the great chapter on Love, which is 1 Corinthians 13, and when I got to the parts that explain what love is an impression came to me. Since “God is love” {1 John 4:16} then these characteristics on love must be what God is like.
With that thought in mind I re-read 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8 and this is what I saw:
God is patient
God is kind
He does not envy
He does not boast
He is not proud
He is not rude
He is not self-seeking
He is not easily angered
He keeps no record of wrongs
He does not delight in evil
He rejoices with the truth
He always protects
He always trusts
He always hopes
He always perseveres
God never fails
My mind was blown away at this revelation. I had caught a glimpse of what God is through those familar passages of scripture. I’m so grateful for what the Holy Spirit taught me here.

I feel the same way that you did. I actually started to cry tears of happiness because at that moment I realized that I was not alone. Through the love that I was showing everybody else at that time, I could see His love shining in me to everyone else.
