Verses About God's Character
God's desire for me is to love Him (demonstrated by my willingness to trust in His character and to surrender and obey Him), and to grow in my understanding of how to please Him, and to allow the Holy Spirit to transform me into the image of His Son.
As I willingly choose to trust God’s character, I will form the habit of trusting God in my daily decisions. As I come to understand that God loves me, is faithful, sovereign, perfect, can do no wrong, cannot lie, is totally trustworthy, is just and never changes, I will be able to see how reasonable and logical it is to trust Him completely, surrender to Him, obey Him, and very illogical not to trust Him.
If you are struggling with trusting God, read and meditate on these verses about who God is and what He is like.
