God Is

Intro

I read a daily devotional sent to me by a good friend name Mark a while back and the title was "God Is." The end of that devotional had an assignment in which I had to list, along with scriptures, who God is to me. You will find my answers below. I will acknowledge that these do not come close to explaining all that God is in our lives. This is just a starting point. You can use the link to the Contact form to leave me a message of who God is to you. I'll add your responses to this page so that you can share your thoughts with others. If you would like to remain anonymous you can leave the name field blank. Feel free to also include which names of God from the list most resonate with you.

Exodus 15:26 (NIV)

"God is my healer. He healed my youngest son of seizures in his younger days. He healed my sister from a heart condition. The doctor said she wouldn't live pass 13. She is now in her 70's. Thank you for every day. We give you the highest praise."
