Most of the time it is not God...HE left us a book and in that book we can find His words and biddings. I am not saying He does not speak for He does...of course He does...but not to exploite and abuse people.
God is kind and His personality is made manifest in the creation of this world...
Sister you are right about that.When I see any thing in nature I can see his love for colors and beauty and I can see his humor in the animals that he has created like the long neck of the geraffe or the long nose of the elefant or how the wood pecker bangs his head into a tree for food!God thinks the light for play and the dark for sleep is good,and even though he may do things or create things in his personality he always does things for a reason and we can take confort in that oh how I love him!!!!
