God is good, holy, and fair. But as important as these things are, He shows them through His kindness, patience, love, and mercy that overflow. Not only can we obey, worship, and show God reverence, but we can also love, admire, and adore Him! However, perhaps the hardest thing is to be like God!

Prayer

LORD God Almighty, I not only trust in You, but I admire Your faithfulness, Your kindness, Your love, Your graciousness, and Your patient compassion. Please let me show each of these virtues more fully. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
