He's My Everything
When I was a youth leader I had the opportunity to meet many people from all over the world that had come to Texas either for seminary or to be part of Tom Nelson's discipleship program. During that time, I met a girl named Flor from Argentina who asked me, "Who is God to you?"
This was a great question and I thought about it for a moment. I have been a Christian since the age of 5 and all my life God has always been there for me. Like a security blanket, when everything else around me was failing in my life, God was always the one constant that I could count on.
Some people think of religion as a crutch for people who are weak or people who are afraid to face the world alone. Since I have known God since the age of five I have never really had to face the world alone, but I can't imagine living my life without him.
So back to Flor's question...
I told her, "God is my everything. He is like a father and a friend. He is someone that I can always call on for help and for strength, and no matter what happens in life I know that he is in control."
So who is God to you?

He's my everything too. My comfort, my retreat, my Lord, my Friend, my Savior, my Redeemer, my Love, my Judge, my fountain of grace, my champion, my God.
Oh, good answer, Eddo. My everything. My stronghold, my comforter, my guide, my peace, my aspiration, inspiration, savior and redeemer, creator, molder, the one who disciplines me and prunes me.
i loved kt's description of him as her champion. he IS a champion. and mine, also.
i was thinking this morning of the cross, and what it means to me. how did i ever live without Christ in my life?
i say that i forget how, but then when i really think about it, i haven't forgotten at all. i remember it all too clearly, all too well. it's somewhere that i never want to be again.
Now THAT'S a toughie. Do you want honesty? Here goes:
I believe was "saved" three times.
I don't know if any of those times even counted.
I believe in God, more deeply than I think I can percive, becauseI believe with a "blind faith". I use that term because of all the questioning I have done in the past. For the past two years, after my marriage ended to my husband, I was completely and utterly lost. I could've gone to church any time during those years, but felt it would seem hypocritical,because I felt alone and not in tune with Him, and in high school, I saw plenty of hypocrits, and swore I'd never be one. I always knew I would get right with God, when the time was RIGHT, but I needed to realize how awful it was to be alone; I needed to humble myself and go back to Him without the influence of anyone else-- that's the only way I would know I was doing it for ME and my family, not for the appearance of "Christianity". The religion part was hazy--- having been raised Catholic and taught Christian, but I knew I needed Him in my life. At that point, I knew it was real-- I knew this time, when I came back to God, it would stick, because I had a deeper undrstanding of Him and who I was with and without Him in my life.
Make sense?
Now let me ask YOU a question--
Do you think God would rather us have "religion" or a "relationship?"
Great Answert Eddo - I agree with KT and Jes as well, God is all of those things and so much more, yes, my everything....
Sarah - I wanta answer that question...definitley a relationship. I don't believe God cares about religion one tiny bit, it doesn't matter what church you go to or what rituals you perform, the only thing that matter and the one thing that I believe to be absolute is knowing that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, that he died on the cross for your sins, that he rose from the dead, that he went to heaven to prepare a place for us, that you believe these things and then trust solely in Him for your salvation, knowing that it is only by his grace and not anything that you can do....followed then by maintaining a relationship with Him...that's what I believe counts. I believe God knows my heart, He loves me unconditionally, and I was created for fellowship with Him.
He's my light in the darkness. He's my comfort when I'm afraid.
He's the everlasting love that my soul craves.
He is my protection from danger.
He is my Father.
He is so very Holy.
He is faithfulness.
He is the listening ear when I need to pour out my heart.
He is my Savior.
Mmm. I love this question.
He is my joy, my wonderful Savior. My Healer, strength and victory. My precious redeemer. My peace and protector. My refineer. My best friend. My King. He is my Hope, my life.
Then sings soul, my Savior God to thee, How Great Thou Art!!!
He is everything that I am not
He is the beginning and the end, the Alpha and Omega, MY soon coming King, my Lord and My Master, the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. My Savior, My Father, My Friend. Hallelujah, thank you Jesus!!
He is my savior on many levels: He pulled me out of the muck that was my life and made me into the new creation that I am today. He is the savior of my eternal life, he is my Father, Friend, Confidant, my Comforter, my Strength, my Shield, my Armor: my Breath, my Love, my Life: and he is most definitely my Song.
He is my strength when I am weak, he is the treasure that I seek, he is my all in all.
He is what I live for, the reason I live, and the reason I will live forever.
He is love, hope, strength, peace, joy, patience and kindness.
