God

God is a God that is faithful. God is a God that answers prayers. God is a God that is true to His word. God is a God who listens to us when we call out to him. He has not hidden Himself from us but shows Himself when we seek Him. He told us if we seek Him we will find Him when we seek Him with all out hearts. He's a mystery but He reveals His mystery in pieces. We must be patient and wait for Him to reveal them - but He does. Little by little as we look for Him, He's there. He never leaves or forsakes us.

Sometimes He's silent, sometimes He's loud. Sometimes He works in big ways and sometimes it's the little things. Big or small it all has meaning and it all has purpose in His plan for His creation.

Perfect Strength

God's strength is perfect in our weakness.

That statement didn't make much sense to me until I actually experienced what that means. The flesh is weak and can't do things on it's own. The flesh fails and chases after things that don't have meaning but God's strength is perfect. It knows exactly what we need and how to provide that.
