An Outro to the “God in the Midst of the Storm” Series.
I hope you have enjoyed learning about God, Our Everything over the course of the “God in the midst of the storm” series.
I wrote about 30 attributes of God that came to mind as the world experienced a storm.
However, the 30 attributes I wrote about are just a tiny little glimpse into what God is to us in all His splendour.
Who can measure the wealth and wisdom and knowledge of God? Who can understand his decisions or explain what he does? Romans 11:33 CEV
God is Love
I think the greatest quality of God is Love. He is actually Love personified.
And if we receive His love by faith, He promises that we will go on living as our souls will find eternal rest with Him.
Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. 1 John 4: 8 – 9 ESV
In fact, God loves us so much that He came to the world as a Human – Jesus Christ – and laid down His life for us as a continual and permanent atonement for our sins.
In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God.
He existed in the beginning with God.
God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him…
…He came into the very world he created, but the world didn’t recognize him…
…So the Word (God) became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son…
…No one has ever seen God. But the unique One, who is himself God, is near to the Father’s heart. He has revealed God to us. John 1 : 1 – 18 NLT (parenthesis mine).
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son (the Word), that whoever believes in Him (the Word) should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16 NKJV (parentheses mine).
There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. John 15:13 NLT
Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13 NLT
Keep learning about God
I am pretty sure if we all had to write about the things God is, and has been to us at different points in our lives, we would come up with thousands upon thousands of His attributes.
Today, I would like to challenge you to learn more about God through your personal reflection of what He has been in your life, and in the lives of others.
However, the best way to learn more about God is by studying the Bible which is a collection of stories and thoughts written long ago by some people in history as inspired by God.
What has God been to you? Leave a comment to let us know.

Yes the best quality of God is LOVE because GOD IS LOVE. John4:7&8.
My greatest knowledge of God is His Fatherhood. An overwhelming and mind blowing truth that the creator of the heavens and the earth is my Father and I have unrestricted access to Him. An humbling and yet reassuring truth. I love you Lord. Thank you Ufuoma for this beautiful reminder. Love you dear💝🥰💝
Hmmmmmm that is so true!
I think being a LOVING FATHER is the greatest thing about God.
For God so LOVED the world that He GAVE …John 3:16
His is a Love that keeps on giving, keeps on growing, keeps on going, never runs out…
He loves us with an everlasting Love. A Love that is unconditional and never waxes or wanes.
He loves us even when we are really bad and alienate ourselves from Him.
He loves us even when we don’t love Him, or ourselves or others.
He loves us, and always looks out for us, and meets our needs, even when we say we don’t need Him and push Him away.
HE just LOVES us. Fullstop!
What a joy and a comfort and an assurance to be loved by the ALMIGHTY GOD!
Thank you Jehovah Nisi for loving us. Inspite of our human frailty and yet overwhelmed by your love for us. Help us to rest in that love that ask for nothing more than to trust in you. Amen!
Amen and Amen.
May we continue to find the courage to rest in God’s unfailing love.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts Sis xx
Who God is to me: He’s my everything!
You see, in the darkest night when I needed a shoulder to cry on, He’s the only one that shows up. He stays closer than a brother to me. Even when I don’t want to hear from Him, He makes sure that His goodness is running after me, even up to overflowing. In all my life He’s been sooo good & sooo faithful. He’s truly the lover of my life. 🙏🏽
I stand in awe of Him. Alleluia 🙏🏽
Glory to God!
Thank you soooo much for sharing your thoughts Ma.
God is indeed the closest friend we can ever have.
Like Jekalyn Carr puts it “He is the company that never has to leave”. He is the only one that will always stay and He will never leave us nor forsake us.
He is Our Constant friend!
All glory and honour to his name!
