So we should think of God as a lover. If we on So we should think of God as a lover. If we only think of Him as the ‘Benevolent Being’ we are not thinking of the Biblical God – rather we have made up a god in our minds. Though He is that, He is also passionate in relationship. He does not ‘have’ love. He ‘is’ love. The two most prominent Biblical pictures of God’s relationship with people are that of a father to his children and a husband to his wife. Those are not distant relationships but are the deepest and most intimate of human relationships. The Bible says that God is like that. So here is what we have learned so far. People are made in God’s image meaning mind, emotions and will. We are aware of self and others. We know the difference between right and wrong. We can appreciate beauty, drama, art and story in all its forms and we will naturally seek out and develop relationships and friendships with others. We are all this because God is all this and we are made in God’s image. We continue next to see the Bible’s explanation of why our relationships almost always disappoint us and why God seems so distant. Why our deepest longings never seem to work out.
