What Is God Like?

This seems to be a simple question. Until you are asked to write a one page answer to the question. Here is the assignment I have been working on this week:

Write a one page summary of your thoughts concerning God. What do you understand an attribute of God to be? Develop a list of God's attributes as you see them. What are your "gut feelings" about God? Is He for you? Against you? Be totally honest about your feelings. Can you trust God or are you afraid to trust Him? If you are afraid to trust Him, why? If you can't trust Him, why?

The first time I sat down to do this assignment, the page stayed blank and the cursor just blinked. One page shouldn't take to0 long, right? As I have thought about what God is like this week and (finally) been able to write my one page, my understanding of God and how I view Him has grown.

So before I post my honest response next week, I wanted to give you time to find a quiet spot, reflect on these questions, and write them down if you are interested. I hope it will impact you as it has impacted me.
