WHAT MAKES GOD, GOD?

If we are not faithful, he will still be faithful, because he cannot be false to himself.

2 Timothy 2:13


God’s blessings are dispensed according to the riches of his grace, not according to the depth of our faith.…

Why is that important to know? So you won’t get cynical. Look around you. Aren’t there more mouths than bread? Aren’t there more wounds than physicians? Aren’t there more who need the truth than those who tell it?

So what do we do? Throw up our hands and walk away? Tell the world we can’t help them?

No, we don’t give up. We look up. We trust. We believe. And our optimism is not hollow. Christ has proven worthy. He has shown that he never fails. That’s what makes God, God.
