“The LORD Almighty is with us;

the God of Jacob is our fortress.” Psalm 46:11

What a full-orbed God you are!

On one side you are

pure and perfect,

high and holy,

the hater of sin..

On the other, you are

loving and merciful,

gracious and gentle,

kind and forgiving.

This balance helps us respond to you well.

Your unbending justice inspires a holy fear of you:

awe,

respect,

caring deeply what you think,

having a fear of firm consequences if we sin.

And your all-encompassing compassionate side inspires

love,

trust,

transparency

and joy.

Seeing this perfect balance in your character brings security, rest and contentment.. Let’s live in the light of these Truths.
