Tomorrow I continue my series of messages in John 3 at the church where I’m currently serving. We’ll be focusing our attention of God…His nature specifically, which brings me to the point of this post.
Recently we had a friend come to our office to meet with the staff and he asked us to do a simple exercise. He had us write down the top three characteristics of God for each one of us personally. So, I ask you the same thing: When you think of God, what are the top three things about Him that have captured your heart?
Have you got them? What did you list? Our list grew long and deep as everyone shared, which helped me realize that there are many, many different and very personal perspectives on the most important characteristics of God to an individual’s life. They are “owned” experientially.
My friend Kevin pointed out that these three or so characteristics of which we are most conscious and aware actually drive our understanding of God, how we relate to Him and even how we behave.
What do you think?
More tomorrow at Calvary and on this blog, come Monday…
