Understanding

Our understanding of God may have been shaped by early religious experiences or the beliefs of those around us. We may wonder if God is as shaming and frightening as people can be. We may feel as victimized or abandoned by God as we have by people from our past.

Trying to understand it all can boggle our mind because of what we learned our experienced so far in life. However, we can learn to trust God anyway.

As I have grown and changed, my understanding of God has not changed on an intellectual level but has come from what I have experienced when I have surrendered my life and my will to His care.

God is real. Loving. Good. Caring. God wants to give us all the good we can handle. The more we turn our mind and heart toward a positive understanding of God , the more God validates us.

The more we thank God for who He is, who we are, and who He is in us, and the exact nature of our present circumstances, the more God acts in our behalf.

God has always planned to act in our behalf !

God is our Creator, Benefactor, and Source. God has shown me, beyond all else, that how I come to understand Him is not nearly as important as knowing that He understands me.
