God loves you

Psalms 86:15 Complete Apostles' Bible
(15) But You, O Lord God, are compassionate and merciful, longsuffering, and abundant in mercy and true.


I have mentioned the image of God I grew up with many times. It came as a shock to read verses like this for the first time. We were never really encouraged to read the Bible, accept what was read to us from the pulpit. This meant that a lot of the hell-fire and brimstone stuff was read to us.

God however is not like that. He is a loving God. He is one who will bend over to reach us and help us through our sins. He will not be be trifled with though. You will have to accept Him. But His mercy is there.
