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!!!!!
