25 Things I Have Learned About God

25

I seem to be a slow learner.  God keeps needing to teach me the same lessons over and over.  So I've tried to put some of those lessons learned into succinct words/slogans/adages.  These then become "self-talk" as I remind myself at appropriate times that God has told me this before.  Hopefully I will choose to live accordingly.Perhaps a few of these will be useful to you.

1. God is God and God is good.

2. God is more committed to my character than my comfort. But He comforts me while he works on my character.
