I just do, big old bite and all. Maybe it's because I had an earthly dad just like yours. People were scared of him. <br /><br />Not long before he died, a man told me that when he first saw my father, he thought he was a grizzly bear. After he knew him, he thought he was more of a Teddy bear. Then, he said, "...a teddy bear with claws, if necessary, but a Teddy bear."Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05671482394424988047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168946904182381428.post-51463413357904495492011-10-10T19:04:47.822-07:002011-10-10T19:04:47.822-07:00Funny when I grew up - God and Jesus was taught as...Funny when I grew up - God and Jesus was taught as fire and brimstone to me. I was scared of him. Later in life I learned he had a lot of love in him too. In fact - GOD IS LOVE!<br /><br />sandieChatty Cronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02232040517217024681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168946904182381428.post-60005293331512580022011-10-09T19:26:52.329-07:002011-10-09T19:26:52.329-07:00Our God is an awesome God.Our God is an awesome God.JThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06880095635294061979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168946904182381428.post-2518997627615635642011-10-09T17:31:26.988-07:002011-10-09T17:31:26.988-07:00Say, were you listening to our Pastor Frank this m...Say, were you listening to our Pastor Frank this morning? He was in Revelation 9 - you know - the one with all the really scary terrors and all the demons being unleashed. Carnage everywhere! Wrath meted out to the unrepentant. We're working our way through Revelations on Sunday and will be finishing the OT this Wednesday - then starting the NT. Verse by verse. And, always the same message - Jesus, taking that "bite" out of God's "bark" for those who believe. <br /><br />Glory!<br />Joy!<br />KathyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168946904182381428.post-4252379768656804682011-10-09T14:30:28.449-07:002011-10-09T14:30:28.449-07:00I am glad you defined fear here, Sharon, as it rel...I am glad you defined fear here, Sharon, as it relates to God. So many times people see the word fear and they think of being afraid of God, which is not what fear means, as you so beautifully said. To hold him in the highest esteem, awe, respect and reverence of him. <br /><br />I think we need to grasp all sides of God (we will of course never completely know him this side of eternity) but to remember how he hates sin and that his wrath will be poured out on this world one day. I am thankful that Jesus took his father's wrath for my sins so that I could spend eternity with him. <br /><br />He is definitely my refuge, because without him I would be nothing. He is my protector, redeemer, restorer, forgiver, etc. <br /><br />Like you said, he is AWESOME!!!<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168946904182381428.post-43640275736456205452011-10-09T14:13:59.125-07:002011-10-09T14:13:59.125-07:00What a great post, Sharon.

You did a great job of pointing out this fact.<br />Blessings,<br />CharlotteCharlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12533075034458645148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168946904182381428.post-3046835156532675482011-10-09T13:20:06.445-07:002011-10-09T13:20:06.445-07:00Your dad reminds me of mine.

I love where you took this -- Jesus took the bite out of God's bark. You put thoughts together with such authority and beauty. And always give me reasons to praise.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />PamelaPamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14577919062812348914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168946904182381428.post-39795501904888177442011-10-09T11:24:21.076-07:002011-10-09T11:24:21.076-07:00Hi Sharon,

I am at the moment feeling I will never get it right. I want to please God, I want to be under His Grace and I hope and believe I am, but sometimes like tonight, I feel I fall so short, in so many ways. Oh dear, sorry not to be more positive. <br /><br />Take Care and have a blessed week - Nita.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02205365191840035777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168946904182381428.post-91412404917108750362011-10-09T06:47:13.959-07:002011-10-09T06:47:13.959-07:00What a fun story--and memory for you.
