HAVE you ever tried to imagine what Jehovah is like?? When you speak to him in prayer, what comes to your mind? Although Jehovah is invisible, the Bible describes him in various ways. Jehovah is called "sun and a shiel" and "a consuming fire." (Psalm 84:11; Hebrews 12:29) His presence is described as being similar to a sapphire stone, a glowing metal, and a brilliant rainbow. (Ezekiel 1:26-28) Some of these descriptions of Jehovah may fill us with awe or may even intimidate us.
Because we cannot see Jehovah, we may find it difficult to believe that he loves us. Some think that Jehovah could never love them because of their past experience in life. Perhaps they never had a father who loved them. Jehovah understands such feelings and how they affect us. To help us, he reveals his beautiful personality in his Word.
The word that best describes Jehovah is love. (1 John 4:8) Love defines him. It influences everything he does. God's love is so warm and so powerful that he even extends it to those who do not love him. (Matthew 5:44, 45) In this article, we take a close look at Jehovah and his love. The more we learn about our God, the more we will love him.
