a Gentleman


God is a gentleman

This is kind of a strange phrase; one that I heard before and kind of shrugged it off. But then when I really started thinking about it and dwelling on it, it made a lot more sense. I don’t mean “gentleman” in the sense that He “opens the door for me, or politely says yes ma’am,” I mean it in the sense that He doesn’t force us to do anything. There are days when it seems that God is far away from us. But the truth is, He is always right there. He is waiting patiently, wanting us to turn to Him in all that we do. He is a gentleman. There are days when I do not feel His presence and there are definitely days when I do not hear His still small voice. It is no coincidence that on these days I am trying to do things all on my own. He is always there. He lets me try to do things on my own. And when I do finally turn to Him, my Abba Father never rejects me. He is a gentleman.

  1. I love this! God is indeed a gentleman! He waits patiently for us. Why, Oh Why do we try to do things on our own? We know it is always better to allow Him to work through us. I am sure glad He lavishes His grace upon us! Praise HIM!!
