God is the King of Kings. As a Christian, especially growing up as one, I hear this all the time. But I cannot let myself grow numb to it. God sits on a throne with almighty power. To be worshiped and feared for all of eternity. In perfect holiness He rules over our lives. He is the definition of righteousness. He demands our whole lives. We are to surrender our whole selves. He is the master to our servanthood. He reigns in power and holy perfection.
God is our good Father. Our intentional Creator. We can't let ourselves forget the intense significance this has in defining who we are. Jesus is the healer to our brokenness. He is the Savior to our sinful hearts. He offers the most precious relationship we could ever be a part of. His character is so sweet and restful. He reigns in love and grace.
Take one of these paragraphs without the other and you miss who our God is. What a beautiful Father and Friend and Savior we have in Jesus! He comforts us and makes us burst with love. What power we have living inside of us through The Holy Spirit. How aware His holiness makes us of our dirt. He convicts us so that He can make us new. He makes us new so that we can continue to grow closer to Him. He gives us the most redeeming and powerful and beautiful kind of love.
There is a necessary balance to be found in the character of Christ, and how we as messengers must portray Him to those who don't know Him. It is the most beautiful balance there is. It is the balance that frees me from the world. The balance that causes me to completely surrender who I am to Jesus over and over again.
