The Character of God – Don

Posted on March 31, 2023April 1, 2023 by Pam

I have liked cannoli for a decade but I have loved God longer. I once purchased cannoli forms and know the ingredients but the outcome was disappointing. In Roma you might expect the cannoli to be the best but after one try I am over it. That is the amazing difference with God. The more I know the better.

God is love, holy, righteous, just, wise, faithful, truth, good merciful (grace is receiving better than we deserve), and patient, giving us may chances. From this thumbnail sketch I know that He has been faithful to me my entire life. This is incomprehensible but true. He is fierce but good.

There are many verses for further study I will list here: 2 Tim 2:13, Ps 86:15, 2 Thes 3:3, Deut 32:4, Ps 31:5, John 14:6, Ps 33:5, 34:8, 100:5, 84:1, 86:1, 107:1, 135:3, 145:9, Heb 4:16, Eph 2:4-5, 2 Pet 3:9, and 1 Cor 13:4. These are in order of the list above.

Because the Trinity share nature then the character of Christ is our goal, Gal 5:22-23, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law”.

To understand the Father heart of God it needs to be specific to me. God loves me and loves you. Jesus is the revelation of the Father’s love and came to show us God. I know this and cannot believe if you do not believe. Jesus came from the heart of God to return us to the heart of God: Heb 1:1-3, Gal 1:15, 2 Cor 4:4, and John 1:18.

"Thoughts from a genuinely evaluative mind."

Pam writes so that must make her a writer. Recently retired, she can now fill days with family, friends, missions, writing, creating, and showing up for whomever needs her. Pam loves the Lord and people. The Bible is God’s love letter to us (and who does not need more love) so she studies and writes some more.

Pam lives in the Pacific Northwest but was home-grown in Southern California. She attended San Jose Bible College and finished a Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry at UCLA. She became a teacher, then a Research and Development Chemist, then she built two successful real estate businesses in two states. Pam also pursued study at Fuller Theological Seminary and just completed six months serving in missions abroad.

Pam has two amazing children, married to two precious in-laws, and five sweet grandchildren. Pam is a gifted connector and communicator and the Northwest has the perfect climate for staying inside and writing – or baking! She has been writing since a wee one and is currently converting many years of blogging, by topic, into ten books. The first is a collection from 2011 titled, Beautiful Enough. The second is a yearly day-timer titled, Weekly Planner - Lessons in Life, Glory, and Grace. Number three is in progress with the working title, Christmas Today.

Ten facts about Pam in no particular order:

  1. On the team that developed an insulation for the Alaskan oil pipeline.
  2. Loves looking at homes, decorating, and has flipped five homes.
  3. Likes being tall.
  4. Films have helped define her vocabulary.
  5. Comes from Colorado tenement farmers with history traced to Wales.
  6. Was lost but now is found.
  7. Baking makes her happy – as does eating sweets with coffee, of course.
  8. She thinks mission work is the most important work in the world.
  9. The church started in Rome so she is learning Italian.
  10. Pam is a work in progress!
