Who is This God?

I have been asking that question for several months.  When all of my life feels out of control, when only portions feel out of control.  Who is this God?  I have been answering it with attributes I understand God to possess.  He is love.  He is grace.  He is true…

Today I was sharing with a friend and I realized it is not God who is letting me down, it is my theology.  God is true.  He is love.  But I do not understand love at its fullest level.  I do not understand truth at its truest level.  I adapt my understanding of God to what I understand of those things.

I am created in the image of God, but I must be careful to not try to create God in my image… or my understanding of the attributes we share.
