Who is HE?

Once a month I teach Kidzapalooza at church. (Isn't that a catchy name for our children's ministry?) Well, on Sunday the lesson was the story from Exodus about Moses and Pharoah and how God send the plagues. I got to tell the story and used fun things like the "Pharoah, Pharoah, O won't you let my people go?" song. In the story one of the things that Pharoah asked Moses was "Who is God?" Finally after all of the plagues, Pharoah got his answer.

Now I ask myself, who is HE to me? How do I see him working in my life? Brent tells me that he's constantly amazed at how God challenges me relationally in my ability to understand, and often misunderstand, people. I try so hard in relationships, but am often left hurting either by the actions of others or by my horrible misinterpretations.

This week I find myself asking the same question, "Who is He?" In the midst of my frequent misunderstandings and inability to deal with them I am looking for the One who wants to draw me close to himself and love on me. Just like the kids on Sunday learned, I know He's there and He's calling my name. He is my Comforter, Healer, Lover, Friend. He never leaves. He wants to walk with me each moment of my day and know the deepest desires of my heart.

Sometimes I just wish He were beside me with skin on.
