God
is so much more than power. He is great, yes, He is holy, yes, but
there is so much more, so much deeper emotions and thoughts run
through the Creator. He sent His Son to earth not out of meanness
but out of kindness. And in Him if I keep His word, His love is made
perfect. (1 John 2:5, 1 John 3:16-17). God is manifested in Jesus,
God and Love Incarnate (1 John 4:9). And in this love, God
demonstrates His power to save us and rejoice with us in His comfort
of us. (Zephaniah 3:17) After all, while we are all lost in our
sins, God committed His love to us and sent Jesus to die for us.
(Romans 5:8) So that even when He says “No”to our prayers He is
only doing it for all of our good. Events affect everyone and
everything and He is in control but He is not a controlling God.
What He does, whether He intervenes or not, all of His decisions are
based in love. His love is perfected and His power is demonstrated
when our love for each other is manifested in deeds of love,
kindness, and compassion. (1 John 4:12). We are exhorted over and
over to remember that God is love and in that love there is no fear,
of losing that love, of having to earn that love, or of never being
forgiven. (1 john 4:16,18) For God has taken care of all things for
us.And so He sends His son, His grace and His love. (2 John 3) The
Lord's greatest power is in His love. And He is gentle and loving.
(Song of Solomon 3:5) And there is much love that He has for us.
(Song of Solomon 4:1,7).
