Hello Children,
To begin our talks, I would first like to talk to you about God. To understand me you need to understand
my view of God: God, THE GOD, God the person, God the trinity, God your creator, and God your lover. Now I do not know all there is about God, no one does. However, I have been around a while, and I believe I know God; I talk to God, I praise Him, and I worship Him. I have been to many churches and I have discussed God with many people whom I believe also know Him well. So while God is loving, eternal, awesome, powerful, and all-knowing; He is also a lot like us. He is perfect and we are not, but when we were created God said let Us make man in Our image. (And when He said man it is inclusive; God has made women just as important as men. Don’t let anyone tell you that there are womanly traits that God does not possess. Sex and all that male and female mean are part of God and He understands it all, even in the tumultuous transitional teenage years.)

“In Our image” is a big mouthful; understand that it entails being eternal, being responsible for making decisions, becoming more God like as we mature and become adults. He said, “Be ye perfect as I am perfect.” It also makes us responsible for our sins. But since we cannot be good enough to be sinless or strong enough to take the resulting punishment ourselves Jesus, the Man-God, took that punishment on Himself. God loves you, all for yourself, just as you are, and he has great plans for you. Remember He is strong, once you accept Him, confess Him, and get baptized, you are His and He will not lose any of His people. You are safe with Him. You might make some mistakes, make bad decisions, hurting yourself and others, but you will not accidently lose your salvation or change God’s love for you.
I will not be preaching at you, but you must know that I believe in God and it defines my life. He said to tell our children about him and his mighty deeds and I hope to do that. When you think about Him and I pray it is often, remember, He is the great:
I AM
