Hello Friends, To continue with my meditations on the truth of who God is I want to praise Him today for He is KIND:
Because God is always good, He will always be kind. Isaiah 54:8 says His kindness is everlasting and it is this kindness that leads Him to show compassion and bestow mercy. These attribute are all wound together. This interwovenness of attributes is truly evident here with kindness, compassion, mercy, and love. God is not made of parts, as we are, with physical and spiritual parts that make us a whole. God is a unified whole and so when He shows kindness it is His whole being that is acting, not a distinct compartment of His being. God says He is One, and this shows here in the complete unity within Himself of all of His essence. So, as many theologians have said over the years, God is His attributes and His attributes are God because He is not divided into parts (attributes that create a composite being. More on this in later posts.
God's kindness is, to us, an action He bestows to us. We receive it from Him. It is such a delight to receive His kindness and to know that He will always be kind consistently. He is not one to waver back and forth as with the blowing of the wind. He is constant in His essence and so we can trust in Him to always act in a way that is truly good for us all things considered. In the life to come, we will drink of His kindness forever and ever, which will give us everlasting joy and contentment. His loving care for us will lead us to endless praise of Him and true worship that delights Him. He will delight in us and sing over us, as is said in Zeph. chapter 3.
