God is good...

He is.
Someone came into my office today and told me something really profound. Here's what she said...
"God is who we allow Him to be..."
Think about that.
Now, we all know that God's character doesn't change over time. But, sometimes we don't allow God to be all that He's promised to be. I mean, really...in a time where you're really upset do you really allow and invite God to come and be your friend? So often we wallow in our self pity that we don't ask God to come and comfort or befriend us. In a time where you are in limbo about your future have you really asked God to be faithful and direct your paths.
Sometimes, as Christians, we define God by our human concepts when in reality we should be allowing God's character to show itself. I know I do. I wonder why God hasn't "shown up" when really I haven't invited Him in the first place.
So, today allow God to be who He said He is.
