In 2015, it was my prayer that God would show Himself to me in new ways. During my devotion time, when I read my Bible and write in my journal, I began writing down different attributes of God. I began realizing just how packed full the scripture is of who God is, and I saw this in new ways. It is my pleasure to share with you 50 things I know about God from reading through some of the Bible. God is good, you guys. He loves you. Even if you think maybe He doesn’t, or you don’t quite have your life together, He loves you. He wants you to love Him, too. 2 Timothy 3:6 tells us that the whole Bible is inspired by God, and is true. These are things that God has told us about Himself, characteristics of Himself He wants us to know woven in throughout this love letter, the Bible, He gave to us. You are loved.
