Who is God?

The Lord is the Source of everything that happens in your life. He is the first and last; the beginning and the end, the keeper of creation, the creator of all things. He is the architect of the Universe, the manager of all time. He always was, always is, and always will be unmoved, unchanged, undefeated, and never undone. He was bruised, but brought healing. He was pierced, but eased pain. He was persecuted, but brought freedom. He was dead and brings life. He is risen to bring power and He was raised to bring peace.

The world can't understand Him; armies can't defeat Him; schools can't explain Him; and leaders can't ignore Him. Herod couldn't kill him; Nero couldn't crush Him; the new age cannot replace him, and Oprah cannot explain Him away. You remind yourself that He is light, He is Love, He is longevity, and He is Lord! He is Goodness and Kindness and Faithfulness, and right. His Word is Eternal. His will is unchanging and His mind is on us. He's our Savior, Our God, our Peace, our Joy, our Comfort, our Lord and he rules our life.

I serve him because his bond is love, His yoke is easy, His burden is light and his goal for us is abundant light. I follow him because he is the wisdom of the wise, the power of the powerful, the ancient of days, the ruler of rulers, the leader of all leaders. His goal is a relationship with me. He'll never leave you, never forsake you, never mislead you, never forget you, never overlook you, and never cancel your appointment in his appointment book! Never!

When you fall, He'll lift you up; when you fail, He'll forgive you; when you're weak, He's strong. When you're lost, He's your way; When you're afraid, He's your courage; when you stumble, He will steady you; when you're hurt, He's going to heal you; when you are broken, He will mend you; when you are blind, He will lead you; when you're hungry, He will feed you; when you face trials, He's with you; when I face persecution, He shields me; when I face problems, He will comfort me; when I face loss, He will provide for me, and when we face death, He will carry us home to meet Him! He is everything for everybody, everywhere, everytime, and in every way.
