Who is God?

One day the Lord asked me, “Who do you think am I?”
His glorious majesty caused me to reply…

…You are an amazing God.
You are marvellous.
You are beautiful.
You are never-ending.
You never fail.
You are great.
And you are mighty.
And none is like You,
None can compare to You.
For who can fathom You?
Who can understand You?
When you are indescribable.
You are incomprehensible.
You are limitless.
You are big.
For You breathe out the universe.
Yet You are small.
For You reign in our hearts.
You are everywhere!
Who is like You oh Lord?
Who can compete with You?
Who can do things You can not do?
Is there even anything You can not do?
Or who can do things You can?
Who can match up with You?
None!
No one!
For You are matchless.
You are undefeatable.
You are unquestionable.
None should doubt You.
For You are wise.
You are God.
You are King.
You are Creator.
You are the Saviour of mankind.
You are the redeemer of the doomed.
You are the payer of debts.
You are the seeker of the lost.
You are the light to the blind.
You are the fortress of the weary.
You are the healer of the dying.
You are the teacher of the ignorant.
You are the lifter of the meek.
For You are a loving God!
You are a merciful Father.
You are gracious Provider.
You are patient Counselor.
You are God.
You are love.
But You also judge the wicked.
For You are just.
You condemn the evil.
You destroy the foolish.
You humble the conceited.
You shame the hypocrites.
You punish the idolater.
For You do not tolerate sin.
You do not take lightly blemishes.
You can not stand wickedness.
For You are Holy.
You are God!
That’s why You deserve our hearts.
You deserve our love.
You deserve our faith.
You deserve our loyalty.
You deserve our obedience.
You deserve our service.
You deserve our devotion.
You deserve our praise.
You deserve our worship.
You deserve everything we have.
For You are God.
You are gentle.
You are compassionate.
You are thoughtful.
You are kind.
You are hospitable…
…to us who don’t deserve Your love.
to us who don’t deserve Your grace.
to us who don’t deserve Your mercy.
to us who don’t deserve Your attention.
to us who deserve nothing.
to us who deserve death.
to us who deserve hell.
to us who are temporary.
to us who are worthless.
to us who are but a vapour.
to us who are sinful.
to us who shed Your blood.
to us who accused You for doing wrong.
to us who crucified You.
to us who killed You.
But You are God.
You rose again.
You conquered death.
You brought out souls from hell.
You had forgiven us.
You saved us.
You gave us life.
You promised us hope.
You assured us a future.
You sanctified us.
You reunited with us.
For You are forgiving.
You do not remind us of our pasts but secure our present.
You lead us into righteousness.
For You desire us to be Holy.
As You are Holy.
For You are a Holy God.
You are God!
You are the Lord of Lords.
You are the King of Kings.
You are the Prince of Peace.
You are the Lord of Love.
You are the Lamb who was slain.
You are the Lion of Judah.
You are the Lover of our souls.
You are God.
You are the Alpha and the Omega.
You are the keeper of time.
You are the maker and holder of all perfect plans.
You are God!
And You will always be God.
For You are eternal.
You were,
You are,
You will.
You alone are God!!!!

Then Jesus said, “Well, that’s great my child; but I already knew all of that. What I really want to hear from you is who am I to You.”

I paused and smiled; for I realized that God isn’t after my comprehension but is after ME. So I answered in awe, “YOU ARE MY GOD!”
