“ Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, For He has visited and redeemed His people…” Lk1.68 NKJV
There are some who believe in a God and see Him as impersonal and distant, one who never interferes in the affairs of men. Now I say they believe in a God but not the God, or at least not the God of the Scriptures. The God who has revealed Himself in Scripture is anything but impersonal. Jesus told us to call Him “Father” and even went so far as to use the very personal word “Abba,” or “Daddy.”
Christ came to show us what God is truly like. The story of Christmas reveals to us a very personal God who desires a very personal relationship with us. The creator came to visit and redeem His estranged children. He took to Himself human flesh and walked under our sun and experienced our sufferings. God is most proactive in His love for us. We may all have gone astray but He comes looking for us as any good parent would their lost child. He waits patiently for those who regard Him as the Deist, impersonal cold and distant and all the while He joyfully lives in the hearts of those who call Him Daddy. 12/18/2007 ts
Just me trying to be honest with God.
