image of God

One of the people that I like to read is Father Richard Rohr.  The other day he wrote about how our image of God affects all of life.  If you have a toxic image of God that is an angry, vengeful God, then all of your world is full of worry and fear.  If you have an image of a God that is distant and uncaring, then you never feel the love of a God that is immediately present.

If however, you believe in a God of grace and love, your life can be filled with joy.  You can find forgiveness and grace.  I love it.

What is your image of God?

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.

I have never heard that before. It makes total sense. It explains people's personality also. Some people that appear to be God loving people, but yet worry constantly, have no trust , only see the negative. Fear death!!!! That used to be me, but, my image of God has changed. Thank you Jeff for letting me see God as a God of love. It changed my life!!!!!
